Light Over Darkness

Awaken, for the ominous clouds of change lin'gr above the wiskful sea. A storm, brewing within the heart of man, you see. The cries of humanity muffled by the winds of change Loose thy dread for fear cometh only from a source unknown. The heart, source of yur anger Justified by ter'or lurking above seas roar. You are the sacrifice. Bring forth thyne light of understanding, Ne'er ignore what your eyes behold Look into their dreaded eyes. For it is known that thine eyes reveal truth. Darkness shall live only in lights absence. Be the light.

Dear Ray, I enjoyed the intense, dramatic and dynamic imagery and metaphors of your poem; "A storm, brewing within the heart of man, you see" and "The cries of humanity muffled by the winds of change". Indeed, light over darkness prevails but only if we are willing to "Be the light." A grand finale to a powerful poem. Warmest wishes, my expressive friend.. ~Susan

Amen, allow the light within to reveal the darkness within, then allow the spirit to dwell and reject the darkness

Indeed that's the best way allow the spirit within to teach, mankind has made a mess out of it,
