Dusk

The clock is taunting while it ticks

Pieces of my spirit fill the glass

Saved for a soul to help complete

It runneth over as the hours pass

What deal do I have to make

What entity can help reform

Can craft a stronger heart

Save me from this husk that I adorn

Locked in twilight, I await

A story beat to be revealed

Will the final hour be too late

How long must slumber be my shield

Can Heaven hear me in the clouds

Is there a father who would come

Is He a figment of my dreams

A promised land we've never won

To move from twilight to the dark

May be worth the endless night

Why wait forever in between

When teased forever by the light

Really enjoyable contemplative read. I loved the self questioning and reflection. It definitely made me think, particularly the last section. The last section seemed so perfect as a final contemplative thought.
