Repristination

Her pristine sky, once crystal clear, drifted away in dusk of morn. Her troubled heart, tainted by fear, was caught in pit of laming scorn. In dark of night, she cried in pain. She wept in bleakness of the dawn; Trying to break her steely chain, so she could cast her brand new spawn. But hope is bright for promise of tomorrow. Even the hopeless can have their chance. She hoped that one day, her misery and sorrow, would turn to glee, as it was once. For, great feat comes to those who seek, but hope is born with those who persist. A time will come when dawn will break; The scourge of darkness will cease to exist. Thus, came the day she'd waited for. Sunlight shone bright on her windowpane. Her sky is crystal clear once more. The past was gone, so with the pain. March 19, 2023 Pick-A-Title, Vol 35 Poetry Contest (2nd place) Sponsored By: Edward Ibeh
