Light Shines In Total Darkness

" When one least expects...hope illuminates"                 




                                    Light Shines In Total Darkness


                           A moment in time where love should leave
                           when incompatibility muddy crystal waters
                           dissolves a tie that binds divine connection
                           widens the abyss as dream loudly shatters

                           Down on my knees I begged for a reprieve
                           gazes polarizing for to her nothing matters
                           in locked cages lay vestiges of desperation
                           intimacy now in tatters mutated to cinders

                           Aged moon will not commiserate then give
                           nebulous promises to stop onrushing tears
                           nor rays to light the path toward contrition
                           and turtle doves waving wings that glitters

                           Weary eyes reaching for salvation perceive
                           apparitions raising me up to alleviate fears
                           cleansing this heart throbbing in exultation
                           as grass springs anew...while grief withers.
