Solace

A quick, silent walk down the path to the park.
Blank eyes, following the lines of the way.
Lifeless eyes, staring back at strangers.
Faceless you, walking down the path to the park.
Shoulders bent down, and eyes now downcast. Darkness abound.
One glance up, a smiling face stares back. Grinning and genuine, the intensity hit hard.
A ray of light shone in the distance, followed by the pain.
