Wisp of Smoke

It came during the night
And left soon after dawn
A wisp of smoke in the night
Nothing else

It brought hope from the box
That had brought so much pain
A wisp of smoke in the night
Filled the night with light

It stayed with me all through night
And watched the sun rise with me
Then it left, my wisp of smoke
But left what it had brought behind

Now I seek to replace
The wisp of smoke that came in the night
With something real
But now I have what it left behind
And I think I can finally win

It came during my night
And left soon after my dawn
A wisp of smoke in the night
Oh how it changed my life
