Born of darkness...

For those who find themselves in darkness…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DAY  is born of darkness

When a tranquil light begins

It suffocates the stillness

And scrapes away the skin

Of blinding insecurity

And screaming fear within...

 

SPRING  is born of winter

When fire burns the frost

It mutilates the muted greys

Rips wide the meadows crossed

With bursting shades of color

And life that once lay lost...

 

HOPE  is born of sorrow

When illumination cries

It strangulates the blindness

And with it all dread dies

For surviving pain and trouble

Gives wings so now one flies...

 

Author's Note

... the daylight will come.

you are blessed. You create another sacred poem!
before all else, the title is very perfect...
Your words are so heartfelt and heart-warming. You have a hallowed imagination. The second stanza is wonderful, dark, awe-inspiring and sad. "Hope is born of sorrow" This sentence makes me ponder...
I love all of it, I cherish every word and every line :à
Well-done. Keep writing. You are one of the best writers here (at least for me)

The picture plays a crucial role in this write as without it, it would most certainly be plain. I really enjoyed reading this, the structure, the diction - it's well planned. My favourite line are:

"Of blinding insecurity
And screaming fear within... "

and "With bursting shades of color"
and also "Gives wings so now one flies..."

The reason is that I found those to be effective. Thank you for sharing :)

You are magic. You have an enormous command of language, emotions and imagery. You are like a skillful painter or an architect, building the layers of your poems. Each line is unpredictable and new. You really have a gift.... not to mention the feelings of goodwill and positivity that simply jump out and attach itself to the reader. Nice. I could go on and on, but I won't... i love this one- A LOT
