Poem
Darkness peeks beneath the shadows Melancholic doubt, dread From silent sensation, built by depression Falling down from up on high Where there is grace, where there is chance Darkness drives away the intense hope Prepares dreams for loss Erases the innocence from the smiles Beneath layers of twilight Where stars glimmer in the ebony night Darkness imagines the faces of a moon Echoing serenity, soothing Forcing the mind to remember the truth Hastening the kiss of gloom So nothing else knows the neglect of suspect Darkness embraces the ugliness of despair Whispers obscurity into the dusk Blends sadness and fear, lingers in the tears Where anxiety flounders, fails To take away the moments promised, courage Darkness reduces the colors so vibrant Clever hues in violet and sapphire Moments stirred by scarlet and sweet amber Thoughts perplexed by the grayness The dirtiness of the foggy grim, so dull – so dim Darkness urgently prepares the mind, the thoughts For the moments of sorrow, the harm That comes alive in the grief that knows no relief The death that dismembers grace Disguises the beauty and masks the praise Darkness complicates the joy that inspires Eclipses the compassion and laughter Conceals every thought of encouragement Cloaks the dream in ambivalence Muddles the feelings that make a heart thrive Yet, darkness – in all its black splendor Cannot disconnect the soul From the wonder, the hope – the knowing That love is alive, abiding inside The one who knows the One who is His light The light frees the darkness from her muted breath And leaves the soul comforted By the miracle of a faith that survives the darkest night
