Ascension

Ascension

Caught somewhere in the middle
between the darkness and the light
Her life was lived in shadows
seeking solace in the night

Innocence and tragedy
too often hand in hand
A purity of spirit
too good to grace this land

Escaping from her demons
and echoes of the past
ascending toward heaven
to redemption, peace at last.

~ this is a very moving piece of poetry about someone who led a sad life... ~ though i think sometimes that redemption can be found on earth... but that's just my perspective... ~ excellent work...
