The starkness of life’s darkness Is hidden not to see Bare and cold, exposed and old Is there as if to be Naked to the whippings Its skin is torn and bleeds The holder of the silent tears And victim of the needs Around it walls, all filled with truth The every inch so covered in Secrets and confessions there The thought abuse and place of sin The floor has holes that seep escape But not enough can fall The beast grows ever more the vent And sponge of no recall But roof it has a pinhole prick Where light of hope shines through And though it’s small some darkness finds A place to wander to And by that light the dark conceives And born is seed of hope And through the mind a light does grow To well expose each slope And slowly does the beast not roar And less we tend to hide We find a way to not withdraw While strength is by our side And each day does become more sweet And less weight fills the mind Amazing when some hope shines through How happiness we find |

Naked to the whippings Its skin is torn and bleeds The holder of the silent tears And victim of the needs Rick I have missed you. This poem wrapped me around every word. Alison |
