With the Light, Comes Hope

As the sun fades behind the horizon
Relenting it's hold on the nation,
Darkness, with steady steps and might
Clutches in and set to fright
The gloves that holds my peace,
Shattering them, piece, by piece.
Laying the mind bare,
For a thousand thoughts to run in despair.

The silence of nature entwining 
With the Owl's hooting shattering
The ominous silence, 
Tells of another invisible presence
That sends the shivers down the spine
Unraveling thoughts of man and Divine.

The cockerel's shouts prepares the way
For all creatures home and away
And me clinging to my soul in desperation
To prepare for a new vibration.
As the new light emerges and I cut off the rope,
I smiled, for with the light, comes hope
