Analysis of Within the darkness
Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)
Within the darkness
Raging within the darkness
Within the shadows of lifting fog
Where madness of imagination meet
Out of lifes dark trenches
Transformed in alchemy of forces
Within the haunting nobility
Of terrifying beauty
The price is paid
In terror of pain unwielded
Of realms of uncertainty of our age
Forged in fire from within
Cultivated transformation
Born of selfless compassion
The world of living uncagged
Human spirit to life that’s fully lived
Where straightened up eyes are set free
