When Darkness Died

I was asleep when darkness died Radiant joy lit up my fertile dreams, the famine tears all were purity dried My corona eyes opened wide within the quiet void of slumber death similitude I saw the stellar light of truth kill that withering abyss of flowering lies rooted in gross darkness Cloaked tick-tock whispers tried to fear alarm rouse me from my supernova lullaby peace But the rapid receding of the corpse cold eclipse nightshade Gave way to the warmth of the dawn star of a bright new day When the terror of darkness died, the last breath of midnight stopped Then the glow of infinity, gloriously, opened my blessed born-again eyes Dedicated to my dear friend, Alexis Y, a most talented poetess. — Romantic Warrior

WoW! Freddie, What can I say? This is such a hard hitting and well written poem. Delivered in a way that only you can deliver it . Each line and verse was potent and thought provoking. I agree, with Charlie, the last night was a good finish to an exceptional piece. Well done. Thanks for dedicating such a write to me. This is going straight into my favs:-) Sending you a Vneck hug:-) Alexis
