194. Flashlight Art

I looked up at the stairs

to see an empty hallway,

not sure what was there,

or that if it was safe.

I ventured there anyway… 

And it was my curiosity

that would lead me astray,

but would allow me to see

what was beyond the light.

A portrait of you and me… 

All the stars in the sky,

and all the stars in your eyes,

I bet I could find them all

painted there on the wall.

They would light up my life… 

And they would light the way

so that I would no longer be afraid.

And I never again feared the dark, 

now that I could see your painted heart.

And it looked like flashlight art…
