Dark of Light

down under here down under dark dark where the world ends dark where stars begin begin to glow begin to know know yourself know your dreams dreams that motivate dreams that titillate titillate the senses titillate expectancy expectancy of possibility expectancy of future plans plans to change plans to be be someone someone special someone that rises rises from below rises over adversity adversity that cripples adversity dungeon dark dark as down under dark as midnight midnight without stars midnight silent as death death that robs death that steals joy joy is like a star joy of heaven's light light that pierces darkness light beaming brightly brightly changing outlook brightly burning burning in the night burning up the sadness sadness of your leaving sadness of my grieving grieving in the darkness grieving in the pit pit of despair pit so far down under under that mound under ground in blackness blackness of my world blackness without light light not darkness light that overcomes overcomes darkness Copyright, August 15, 2015 Faye Lanham Gibson
