Light Over Darkness

Awaken,  for the ominous clouds 
of change lin'gr above the wiskful sea.
A storm, brewing within the heart of man, you see.
The cries of humanity muffled by the winds of change

Loose thy dread
for fear cometh only from a source
unknown. 

The heart, source of yur anger
Justified by  ter'or lurking above seas roar.

You are the sacrifice.

Bring forth thyne light of understanding, 
Ne'er ignore what your eyes behold

Look into their dreaded eyes.
For it is known that thine
eyes reveal truth.

Darkness shall live only
in lights absence.

Be the light.

Dear Ray, I enjoyed the intense, dramatic and dynamic imagery and metaphors of your poem; "A storm, brewing within the heart of man, you see" and "The cries of humanity muffled by the winds of change". Indeed, light over darkness prevails but only if we are willing to "Be the light." A grand finale to a powerful poem. Warmest wishes, my expressive friend.. ~Susan

Amen, allow the light within to reveal the darkness within, then allow the spirit to dwell and reject the darkness
