Inspirational Poem:

Find the light
by Megan

Darkness may fall upon the sunlit beauty of your world
it may consume you, take you in it's bludgeoning grip,making you hide within the comfort of your suffering
A shadow may cast over the sun, hiding all beauty within it's grasp.
All light may disappear without a traceand as this begins, hope fades and all fight within is weakened.
The pain within this obscurity need not confiscate your stars, your moon and your sun.
So long as it is prohibited to do so, it shall not conquer.
Rise against the darkness to shine your light again.
Ascend out of the shadows, never holding back.
Do not allow the gloom to devour your spirit.
Fight through the blinding darkness, seeing only with your strength.
The shadows of the darkness shall descend ever so slowlybut loosening it's hold nonetheless;
you will have set yourself free from the pain.
It may linger in the background of your ever strengthening light,
frozen, unable to make it's move until you give up the fight once again
Focus on the light, not on the darkness and the light will guide you to happiness,
toward strength and hope


For Photographers:
When we think of light, we tend to think of light in regards to photography and how important it is. But when we look at light in a different way, such as the light that we give off, we begin to realize that light means so much more. We all need to find the light in our lives, for some that might be our family, for others it might be ourselves, it could even be our photography. If we focus on the light and not the darkness, the light will guide us to happiness...
