Poem
When Light Penetrates The Fog Of Fear And Darkness When Light through the keyhole penetrates the malaise And within that moment your soul gives sincere praise For that divine gift that Life's sweet promise resets Earth's clock to those times before this darkness besets Know Truth and eternal Light never mankind fails To conquer anything issued from pits of Hell. Darkness fears not man but rather eternal Light. On earth, we are in midst of that eternal fight. When Light through the keyhole penetrates blackest Dark And waking soul finds that Life is not just a lark Path is made from within the black, to walk away To leave blind fold and in earnest begin to pray World parades its great evils as the one true way And sets foundation for man's greed to hold deepest sway. Darkness fears not man but rather eternal Light. On earth, we are in midst of that eternal fight. When Light through the keyhole penetrates our sorrows And we feel true fright and fear for our tomorrows Truth reveals Light banishes that deep wicked fear As echoes of paradise draws ever more near Know eternal Light, Truth and Time are on our side In that promise, certainty of man's saving tides. Darkness fears not man but rather eternal Light. On earth, we are in midst of that eternal fight. Robert J.

One written four decades ago when I was a mere twenty-six years old and then faced a time of darkest dark in my life. I have revamped it to modern times to address this dark plague that the world faces now and to yet again point out that the eternal truth that mankind has a great purpose than our time here on earth is a mere blink of the eye. And nothing, nothing, nothing can ever even come close to defeating that our fated destiny. Death and Darkness are only temporary, while Light and Divine Promise is Eternal.
