The light prevails, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

Shadows ravage over bleached cobble stone
A terrible flood, unstoppable in its raging.
Angrily they encroach upon ancient grey walls.
Water turns to fire, black flames engulfing
Consuming the colors of hope in their wake.
Reaching ever higher stone by stone
One desire's binding them:
To leap off under a moonless sky
That they may descend as one
A blanket of terror upon the land.
Unbearable.
Undeniable.
Until
A candle is lit, warm light fills the heart.
Hope blossoms, prayers ascend.
Darkness suddenly torn in two
Like paper run full of ink.
A new page is turned, a story unfolds.
And written like with golden pen
Sun rays break forth from the clouds.
Dawn blossoms
The light prevails.
