First Blink of Light

Summary:

A kid in a post-apocalyptic world that sees the night sky for the first time

Notes:

Meant to be hopeful but some people say the ending is depressing so idk guys

Work Text:

Dust and dirt

Scattered around

The world ruined

And in dismay

Barely anyone left to live

Those who are, die anyway

Yet those born after the end

Are left to dream

Broken houses

Broken dreams

Those left to cry

Stay lying weeping

Miserable

Demise

Hopes murdered with spite

Sky blocked from view

Light glinting behind sight

A small child

A tiny fight left inside

Innocent hope

That hasn’t yet died

He yearned to see what has not been seen in years

His eyes a blaze with unfettered dreams

He soon laid eyes on what the world had not seen

A beautiful mess of deep dark night

Stars glowing ever brightly

Light full of dreams

A painting of hopes

A painting of dreams

A painting of fantasies

Left behind to sink in misery

His eyes watered

Tears leaking down as he cried of joy

He finally found hope in a world destroyed
