Dark Night Dawn

DARK NIGHT’s DAWN

Recital of suffered wrongs will not repeal
the sickness of the spirit’s darkened night
But confession of cause may heal and reveal
the dew upon the rose in morning light.

I was impressed by the poem, Geoff, and even more so by the prologue--yes, we all constantly generate karma, good or bad, though it may not always be clear. Congrats on your win [ though I would have ranked it 1st.]

Geoffrey, It appears that you have learned through introspection and grown to know yourself with this marvelous expression so eloquently composed as to give pause to others who have lamented similar reason. I simply loved this concise peek into your spirit! : )
