Darkness Never Prevails
Living in darkness seemed the best way
Light never reached my face as I lay
As the fabric of life seemed to fray
Hateful words spoken in spite
Light was no longer in my sight
I could not survive the dreadful fight
Thoughts dominating my mind
Keeping me in a doubtful bind
Where were the acts of kind?
Soon I saw the one escape
Actions of others sealed my fate
My salvation was too late
Eternity in darkness all alone
Until I heard a soft moan
Her soft words brought me from the zone
Slowly I began the difficult climb
Back to life to hear the chimes
They would be punished for their crimes
As I no longer stood on the edge
They had thought all alledged
That I was deafeated in my bed
As I walk by them in daily life
I smile to them but with no strife
I have returned to light, and now I am might.
