Awakening

Dark is the night when no star shines; Deep is the fright when darkness dines. Dark is the day when light feeds dark; Deep is the stray that kills fine spark. Dark is the soul lost in the mire; Deep is the hold of evil fire. Dark is the man lost in the heat; Deep is the span in haze and peat. Dark is the life lost in the world; Deep is the strife in maze and swirl. Dark is the time when all seems lost; Deep is the grime in barren cause. Dark is the taste that plunder flings; Deep is the waste yet grace now springs. Awaken now to change of heart; Grace cheers endow to bless new start. Leon Enriquez 12 Apr 2014 Singapore
