-
When soul light dies and gutters,
hope and love extinguished,
robbed from all the years, the months, the days.
-
Finally swallowed unto the pit,
consumed by darkness, devils : where the light is foul,
the eyes evil, and skies cursed by pentangles
- that would burn both eye and mind.
-
I cry and sob but shallow breath crushes me further into despair,
ashen soul, weary, lifeless, awaiting the relief of final gasp.
-
Where is salvation? I can see no light to lift me from this doom,
no love to warm me, no dearest to hold me.
-
I call one final time, a bid uncertain,
a rescue and resuscitation so needed.
-
Like the breath of God, pulled into the light!
Mind assuaged by vibrant butterflies marked out in neon,
humming birds dance - a spectacle for heart and soul.
-
Once more inhaling life and exhaling tears,
a catharsis of a dying man pulled back from the brink :
in the blink of an eye - that which splits the world of dark from light.
The heat of soul needs friends and angels, not devils and darkness, think on that....
-
by a soul reclaimed.
