"Darkness"

This is one of the poems in the collection, "A New Season of Poetry."

“Darkness”

 

Dark was black, like the night,

Turned into shadows by the Light,

The blackness felt like an evil weight,

Casting fear and doubt upon my fate.

But rescued by my Savior then,

The Light of Heaven flooded in,

My lungs filled with the cleanest air,

And there was no darkness anywhere.

That darkness, though, lurked behind,

The deepest recesses of my mind,

For more than thirty years,

Bleeding out only through my tears,

But never once truly known,

Until two of them were gone,

Their spirits beyond this life,

When God’s hand cut like a knife,

And I felt the ripping of the veil,

It was only then that the truth began to tell.
