When Darkness Died
I was asleep
when darkness died
Radiant joy lit up my fertile dreams,
the famine tears
all were purity dried
My corona eyes opened wide
within the quiet void
of slumber death similitude
I saw the stellar light of truth
kill that withering abyss of flowering lies
rooted in gross darkness
Cloaked tick-tock whispers tried
to fear alarm rouse me
from my supernova lullaby peace
But the rapid receding
of the corpse cold eclipse nightshade
Gave way to the warmth
of the dawn star of a bright new day
When the terror of darkness died,
the last breath of midnight stopped
Then the glow of infinity,
gloriously,
opened my blessed born-again eyes
Dedicated to my dear friend, Alexis Y,
a most talented poetess.
