Trust In the Dark

 

 

 

My Sun rose at the crack of dawn

To dispel like wind with hails of light

The shadowy tricksters in my head

And their might to crowd my sight

 

The shadows host every unseen dread

Oh, tortured souls the living to scold

The frantic heart each beat a boom

Resounding through the darkening gloom

 

I thought I saw my destiny clear

Although the signs were hardly there

In time I saw in plain hindsight

My vision divine was just a farce

 

Cartographers dart to decipher

The map of time etched in the ether

The tail of a comet streaks by to mean

Neither hope nor fear can set you free

 

Take giant steps and enter the gloom

Worry not from whence spring your doom

Darkness spawns the eye of the soul

And where it leads there you must go

 

Love the light but trust in the dark

For both do swing to please your sight

Though by light each step you measure

The looming dark measures your years.

 

Be not afraid of unseen dread

Savor the light and devour the dark

The lot of life though cast by light

The darkness shrouds your divine right.

I'm not all that great with giving analytical reviews, but I will say this:

"Cartographers dart to decipher
The map of time etched in the ether
The tail of a comet streaks by to mean
Neither hope nor fear can set you free"

This is absolutely lovely. You have created such beautiful imagery with timeless metaphors and equal flow. A truly astounding piece of work. Nice job.
