Piercing Through Darkness

June 14, 2014

In the midst of all the shadow and emptiness

One could only wish for a guardian angel.

One that can shine light in their eyes,

And one that comforts in dire times.

Many are not so lucky,

And are forever doomed to a life of despair.

May the heavens take pity on those poor souls,

And on my lonely self as well.

A kindred spirit amongst the condemned is

Of course most rare.

Most can be rather tricky to find,

While others can easily vanish into plain sight.

Long have I searched for one,

And long have I failed.

Just as I began to grow weary,

The purest of them all appeared to me.

Never have I laid eyes on such beauty.

It’s as if the heavens sent their golden angel to my aid.

And with just a single glance,

All the darkness in my heart had vanished into thin air.
