Light Comes

For my Brother...you are inspiring and so very strong.

Light comes in lonely places,
when the dawn wakes the slumbering soul.
And your fingers fracture the thawing heart
as they clutch each other for warmth.
The look on your face when the first rays of sun
break the darkness, it always makes me inhale my lungs.
It's so quiet.
But a smile comes when the dawn breaks
because for a moment you feared that it never would.
And you would have to lay there,
on your back for the rest of your life.
Wrapped in the blankets like a coffin.
But that glow streaking across the ceiling
lets the blood return to your cheeks.
And the sleeping dead leaves your body
and you are shaken with life to your core.
You made it another night,
that means you made it another day,
and that means you've made it further than ever before.
And the strength inside you does not amount
to any weight you could lift.
It is the strength to rise when all else would have fallen.
So light does really come in the morning,
and darkness shatters when I see that smile on your face.

Here's a song for you:

Continue to be strong my brother. Love you.
