Despair

How is it,
That even in the darkest moments of despair,
All it takes,
To bring one from misery to joy,
Is something so simple,
One cannot help but wonder how it works.
Nothing extravagant,
No flashing lights, writing on the walls,
A simple word,
Said from the heart.
A beautiful sunset brightening the sky.
A lonely flower, glowing brightly for all who look.
No one can explain why such a simple thing,
Can turn even the loneliest days,
Into one worth living.
