Darkness
Darkness
There is a greater darkness in the world
It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way
The war we fight is not against a seen enemy;
It is against chaos and despair.
Greater than the death of flesh
Is the death of hope - the death of dreams.
Against this peril we can never surrender.
The future is all around us,
Waiting in moments of transition;
To be born in moments of revelation.
No one knows the shape of that future
Or where it will take us; how it will get us there.
We only know that it is always born in pain.
The pain of the loss of hope - the increasing despair;
Is a peril from which I will never recover.
I can only hope that a moment of transition
Will take me away from the despair and the death
of all that I hold dear to my death eternal.
While I await the arrival of that transition
from life to death;
I know that I cannot win the fight
I know only that I love you;
And will do so forever.
