"I knew it could never have been otherwise"

Back Home to the Dark I went for a walk with my eyes to the ground Ordinarily I keep them to the skies But after that beckoning quarter I found I knew it could never have been otherwise I looked up and looked down I looked all around And I could see it was a very good day To live and especially to live as me Already seeing how exercise can pay So I pumped my fist in solidarity With the anti-war protesters in the park Twenty-five cents richer lucky as can be And feeling a chill went back home to the dark +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMVI

Great write but I felt the compulsion to somehow bring light into your home.
Well done. It gave me much to think about.
God Bless,

Oh the joys of a glance that finds riches eh? Loved it!

At first read this seems fairly innocent and yet the exhultation of finding the quarter seems somehow overshadowed to the reference of the dark at home...usually it is to the light at home. Regardless this is a unique write that makes the reader ponder and read again which is what a good write does.
