Poem
Quote: If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless. >>>> James E. Faust ************ For Light Then Plants Its Invincible Seeds In that deep darkness, no pity exists Fate too often decries such on its list Of destruction and sad, sorrowful woes Those mortal man feels as hard, heavy blows Once held within, eyes bled fast to go blind While lost hope too, seeds a worm-wooded mind! In that set malaise, how can love rejoice Human soul sees life as having no choice But to bend, bow and admit utter defeat For evil wins and evil always cheats Agony cries, beast on human flesh dines Where struggling in morbid black, no light shines! In that sepulchre no pleas can escape This world seems but a devilish landscape Born not for man but for deep disaster And in it, Fate and Death are two masters Such is the great power that darkness holds Mankind seems to be made from broken molds! Let one ray of Light enter that abyss Fate then finds that its poison arrows miss For Light then plants its invincible seeds Tends new garden removing all the weeds And Death, its dark-dreaded touch must then wait For Heaven above cast Light changing Fate! Robert J. Lindley, 4-11-2021 Rhyme, ( For what is man, if divine Light does not shine )
