Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

Darkness

a child is snatched
life forms brutalised
earth is a dark realm
where all of us dwell
feeling fear overwhelm

within the dark abyss
when all hope seems lost
our eyes turn heavenward
but it may be preferable
if they first turn inward

law of cause and effect
inevitably comes into play
but for now we weep tears
bleeding, bleeding, bleeding
paralysed by our worst fears

I Am Anaya July 31, 2023 at 10:23 PM Tears shed for a child-so many gone into the abyss. Namaste- Unseeking Seeker July 31, 2023 at 10:47 PM fear too serves a purpose, inducing surrender, freezing thought, thereby exhuming ego (identity), connecting awareness to our luminosity within, albeit, at a heavy cost.
