Darkest just before Dawn
The soul deepens night
shadows swell as sorrow stews
silencing insight
in the hours most forsaken
when heart only hears echoes
Darkness folds inward,
into a starless cavern
cloistered yet alive
with what a closed eye can't see
when the spirit walks alone
Just before the dawn
when the blackness feels complete
the soul flares with fire
in the void it finds solace
a flame that was always there
