Our of the Darkness

I have waited so long to feel a presence,
Dormant my soul lies within my sorrow.
Only emptiness is fulfilling as a taste of lonely bitterness,
Drenched in the stench of despair.

I implored to the Gods for some embrace,
I attempted to vend my soul for some tranquility.
My efforts were tireless and boundless,
And yet I still amble in this darkness.

After decades of torture and torment,
My life in it’s suspension of hate,
The Gods finally remedy my plea.
And sent me a vessel of light that has shown me love.

For all my days that lay within the shadows,
Never have I seen such beauty and pure splendor.
Luminescent as the brilliant sun,
I caress the warmth and encounter embrace.

My mind could not quite endorse a new,
But my heart has opened immensely.
My will is now pursuing your empowerment,
And I am no longer sad.
