My Daemons

My Demon shrouds me in shadow Cruelly shutting out the light Now the secrets within my heart Have become a burdensome weight Like a stealthy undercurrent Running rampant in the night His Dark Lord ways imprison me I'm locked behind Hell's iron gate But free of gravity is she Aurora, that gentle bright daughter Miraculously, Dawn comes again As she alights from her carriage of gold Her warm, sunny rays bathe me Like a glistening spray of water Washing away all traces of doubt And loosening fear's terrible hold

Congrats on this selection new-found friend. Yep! Nights can be hell. Do I detect a twofold meaning. Of course, even if unconsciously on your part. Love, daver

It’s a game of hide and seek isn't it... this darkness that we all get eloped into, sometimes! A wonderful insight! ~ Arany
