The Light In the Darkness

The Light in the Darkness A crown of shadows sits upon my head. I wear the Abyss on my wrist, and my necklace is home to the dead. Crowned in my youth by the shades themselves. No time nor space in this place where I bled. I've seen the belly of the beast, and I've looked out of hell's mouths, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. I beheld only One True and Faithful Light, as I witnessed endless nights, filled with screams of pain echoes inside. But the Hope of Glory shined bright. So my fists clenched tight, and I began to fight the good fight.

Dear Christopher, the intensity of your dark imagery grips the heart, soul and imagination where the glimmer of Light still has a chance to shine, and hope a chance to win. Potent poetry. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
