During a time when
faith was swallowed
by the forces of a
dismal withdrawal from life,
thy solitary mind could
not expand or fight
a reality of what was
before thy body lost
Beaten down by
confusion, by a confinement
of the thought process,
longing to be within
oneself, the desire to
dwell among a peaceful
existence that was sadly
drawn away
Striving to achieve the
wellness of a spirit,
the soul continues to
survive the hindering
black weight put upon
the body that must
carry a burden heavy to
the bewildered mind
Praying to break the
chain that confines the will
of thy captured being
of beings, the grace of
one shall over come the
blackened hold that
entwined the arms that
reach out to the world -
as the light of truth
shall overcome
