At The Bottom Of Pandora's Box

When you feel that all is lost....keep your head up!

The nightfall is perching
On the shoulders of the day
I sense no warmth,
Only a sadness
As I pry in benighted blae.

In the darkness there is a light
It casts a shadow on the wall
Pandora's box lies open
Curtsy for the curtain call.

My eyes pursue the light
In the darkest depths I grope
To find what I am searching for
A meager trace of hope.

Now this is the real you! This is what I was waiting for and talking about that I saw in your blog. This was exquisite, haunting and has that magical quality of sight of a poet's heart.

My favorite lines:

1. The nightfall is perching
On the shoulders of the day
