The Sunshine Woman
70 Words
THE SUNSHINE WOMANOut of the icy darkness,
Howling demons claw my flesh.
There is no shelter, no respite.
Where can I turn?
Where can I find a place to rest?
A home? A fire?
Far on a hill
A beacon beams
Golden light
Gleaming in the night
Warming the cold.
It is she.
In supplication, I raise my arms,
Reaching for that
Which shall always remain
Just beyond my grasp.
Sunshine woman, banishing night
From all around you,
Shine your glorious smile
On this one dark soul.
