Let There Be Sunlight

“Let There Be Sunlight” What happened to my world. Everything is gone now. Step by step, down into darkness. Away from clouds, water, sky. From all that lives and thrives. From that which fed me, now I am served up poison. My spirit is offended I mourn. Too much. Too much. Doing every possible thing to keep eyes open, mind sharp. Protect myself again. Hold myself sacred. No matter the insult to my dignity. My intelligence will go down with me, I’m afraid. I’m trying so Very Hard. Let there be sunlight at dawn and I’ll count the stars If only I could touch compassion again. True and pure. Will I be able? I will lovingly share all that I possess Let me live in That World again for it is a holy place and is that from which I was born. So shall I take up a pen and paper til the day I can longer write words…
