As We Cry In the Darkness

As We Cry In The Darkness We cry in the darkness, the echoes cast a shadow on the things that never last Tears eat into our souls, our hearts wept dreams brought sadness even as we slept The Hand of Fate, O' what great mystery death and destruction mankind's history Lost in blackness that covers man's all our screams echo back on us as we fall Light, if allowed will pierce this gloom we should not race blindly to our doom Purpose of life can be harness for good yield not to the plea of, if only I could Raise sails to set ship onto a new trail a journey that races ever away from hell Faith embraced sends wind that so bless Demand true love, never settle for less! Robert J. Lindley, 09-06-2014 note: The blind see only darkness ahead. Once eyes are opened we see light of truth We find true love is purpose of life instead.
