A New Day
Image Title, The Light Knows No Bounds
The sun is pulled deep
Into a perilous sea.
Darkness crawls across
The night sky, ominously,
Quiet, like a thief.
Chaos and mayhem settle up.
Misery creeps out of worn,
Torn and weathered spaces.
But the light, oh the light!
Tiny beacons burst through
The dark and dense
Fabric of the night.
Image Title, The Light Touches Everything
Living proof...
On such a night as this,
When it seems the darkness
Might swallow me whole.
Hour after hour, time gnaws
At all the pain I hide
From the daylight.
Time seems relentless.
But the darkness does fade
Into a new dawn
A soft light, a new day.
