This was a poem someone had started.  They asked me to complete it for them and make it flow, to arrive at a hopeful and optimistic outcome.

Even In The Darkness
by Jonathan Kraft

Waking up on a cold winter’s day
Raindrops on my window seem to say
There will be no end to the gray
I think to escape, but I don’t know the way.

What place would I find, and where?
Winter is everywhere – and here
The night is so cold.

What does the future hold?

Will there be light?
Will I ever again take flight?

On the wind a voice calls to my ear
not to despair… a rainbow is near
How long will I wait for it to appear?

Snow’s frozen blanket falls from a cloud
Covering goodness and light with it’s shroud

Time has frozen… too cold even for tears
Stuck in darkness I’m left with my fears

But even in the blackest of night
My life at it’s winter, I must regain sight.

I must not despair, a rainbow is near
I must have active faith, and help it re-appear.

Even in the darkness of this room
There’s a ray of light helping new life to bloom.
