Chiaroscuro

I am dying that the light may live
Piercing my shredding shroud
For the glorious sun to blaze forth
Out of the depths of my darkness.
His brightness will shine through

                    To
          Dispel all doubt
                    And
                    The
                  Shade
                To clarify
