Poem

Dark as the sky who
Publishes stars
Reflecting the dance
Against a tangerine 
Moon, longing for
Dawn and truth

Dark as the circles
Underneath sunken eyes
Who only see
Insomnia’s gloom
Coloring the night
In melancholy and dread 
For moments of sleepless 
Fists raised toward angst 

Dark as the black 
Cat who is haunted 
By the shadow 
Of superstition 
Saying bad luck follows 
One who sees it
Crossing their path 

Dark as the fate
Of a lonely song
Drifting through the 
Soul of one who 
Knows despair - grief
And the grace that 
Caresses the naked
Thoughts of a heart 
Who releases
It’s dread to the 
Lavender light
Of dawn 

Dark as the forest 
That breaths
Shallow breaths 
Through dead branches 
Of oak and pine
Leaves lost to earth
Where decay 
Will offer grief-stricken
Pain to the waves
Of debris in hues of
Graying grim gorges

Dark as the pain
Winding it’s way through 
Crimson veins
Filled with flowing 
Antibiotics called love
Who hope to heal
The illness
Of greed, hate, shame

Dark as death
In its blackest
Cape of captivity 
Covering the soul in
Misery and mystery 
Mourning for music 
That bleeds hope
Into the emotions 

Dark as eyes
Twinkling 
Delight from a place 
Of inspiration 
And insight 
Into the gentle beauty 
Of warm, wistful 
Wishes

Dark caresses hearts
With clouds 
Of reassuring prayers
Prayed with thanksgiving 
For the waking moments 
When rays of sunlight
Break through the
Doubtful darkness 
In blooms of laughter 
Brilliant and vibrant 
As the light that lives
In the heart love fills
