Morning Dew

Morning Dew

Does no one hear depth of this darkness
Of it's presence within our mist
So heavy it rains on the Glory of life
We choose to let it be
Not to see 
Words of choice
To hide it from display
It will grow
From seed 
To plant 
To tree
It's roots of hate have already captured some 
I thought these souls were safe from harm
But now they have joined and seem bound to the roots that have entangled them
No where 
To run 
To hide
The daylight grows darker daily as it struggles to survive 
How can mankind repeat these atrocities over an over
Justifying their hate in any form 
We have learned nothing
For our young we create the gift
Of hope
Of love
So wondrous in the  morning dew
Why have we chosen again and again to Let the darkness rule our days.....

Within darkness our soul is renewed and prepared for the light. If you have a chance read my poem "Yellow Shoes in The Darkness" this is a tremendous first offering you have given us. Welcome to the soup.
