This Too Shall Pass
Gnashing of teeth and quenched
hope
Cold hands of despair and a
bleak future
Clutching desperately to the
shreds of tranquility
And the rays of sunlight eclipsed
forever
This too shall pass
The land pregnant with barreness
And forlorn caressing your soul Wisps of
the delights of a Time
long gone
Tormenting you with every
ragged breath
This too shall pass
The world around seems to
crumble
With apocalyptic likeness
and the frailty of an ancient
structure
The wind moaning, echoing
your grief
The tendrils of the new flower
shrivelled up like leaf in the
harmattan
This too shall pass
Gongs of doom clang incessantly
And you long for
the sweet release of death
The fortitude has long withered
An imprint of your soul is all that
remains
This too shall pass
And now the eclipse is over
And fresh rays of tomorrow warm our
frigid hearts
Your crack of smile is like music
to my heart
Because I told you:
This too shall pass.
