Love's Light



through the duration in time
 we have created a rhyme
 finding solace amidst the quest of nature
 now is the expectant hour

 a pull at the heart will light a spark to what we need to know
 love has won yet it also has lost humanities heaviest cost
 yet these are desolate times yet we settle for ill faded rhymes
 The night sky is dark, the stars
 and moon can not be seen, the wind

 blows cold over my dark and creepy grave,
 The roots grow deep into my coffin of death
 the dirt is heavy and hard to breathe under
 the weeds grow tall above my tombstone,

 my name is not readable my face is
 forgotten my body is decayed my soul
 is yearning to be joined with my master
 but I am afraid of the great light I

 have to pass through to get to the pearly gates of heaven.
 I lie in the dark solemn slumber
 of death and life, in a forgotten world,
 A world which I once lived in,

 a world that forgot me, my dreams and my undying soul
 I am the forgotten one, and it grows
 harder and harder for my soul to breathe
 yet in the distance a portal a glimmer of light

 Love at last appeared out of the duration of its illumination
 a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need of hope
