When the lights flicker out,
and hope is but a memory,
keep reading.
Remember that things
look messy in the middle
of any good tale.
Don’t curse the story
even when the pages are
damp with tears.
Because light shines through
the grayest chapters.
Dear reader,
keep laughing.
keep dreaming.
For in the end,
good will triumph.
