Fluttering Darkness

Fluttering darkness, take wing. Malignant talons, take life. Oblivion wings, take light. Pluck from the shade, this foul feeling manmade, without a reason or rhyme. Execrable expression of earthly emptiness, Detestable display of dauntless devotion, Perverse parade of practical pretence, Irreverent instance of intrepid insurgence. "Only faith may absolve you" But "darkness", launching into freedom's embrace, need not be forgiven nor freed

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
