Matthew Anish Poet Ballad

The Darkest Hour

Before light 
   enters your 
souls 
   your darkest hour 
will come
the grottoes of your 
   mind 
will be covered in shadow
    Yes, I think that 
you will find it difficult
   able to find peace 
   when black ink night
surrounds you 
The  dance,however 
      is yours to try 
You must deal with the 
    realities of night and day 
if
you 
are not 
able 
to 
play 
the game  
   Then you may 
falter in  your steps 
I believe that light 
can cut through darkness 
and that your eyes will see 
A phoenix rising from the ashes
