A GLIMPSE

There was movement

And I saw it;

I opened my window a little

And let the light flitter in.

I saw the outline of a rainbow

Floating gently in the sky—

I was in pain and teary-eyed,

But with my youthful might,

I prayed that if there is a God

That dwells in the sky,

Then he should save me from myself.

And suddenly, I saw the stars twinkle

And felt peace all around me.

And from that special moment,

I want my words to become a light

That will flitter into a heart

And give the heart a glimpse of hope.
