Where did it go?

It flickers weakly
in the distance
and keeps my one foot
in front of the other.

It kept a smile on
my face when only
despair filled a
heavy heart.

It lets me see
objectively when
frustration clouds
my wet eyes.

It reminds me of
the possibilities that
exist in this world
for happiness.

It is hope.
It is love.
It is you.
