Misplaced

see, i found it hidden
in between a pair
of your black and white socks
thinking it was so far away
but it was only

something you had misplaced.
something you had lost -

and it shone oh so very
b r i g h t l y
with a warmth, that almost
made up for the darkness
it left behind its absence

and on a cold morning,
when i thought there was
no use in empty prayers
your love found me
once more
