In the dark hours
late at night
we sit quiet
without the lights
through the words
a burden shared
unheard cries
of sorrow there
a wave comes crashing
over me
your heart a boat
on stormy sea
anger pain regret shame
you struggle often
for just your name
and can it be
that then as now
tis meant for this
to be somehow
that in the dark hours
late at night
we quiet sit
without the lights
and asking questions
brave and bold
we find answers
for our souls
souls same color
done in crayon
for childish we
in that same Hand
that chose to use
that same sad hue
that colors souls
of me and you
now some would mock
and call us mad
steeping in
the sorrow sad
but we know
the strength in pain
the body's loss
the spirit's gain
so in the dark hours
late at night
I think we both
have found some light
and smiling through
the tears we know
we match in colors
of our souls

I just love this! Well done! I have read it several times and love the way the words sound and the rhythm in each line. There is so much depth to this poem.
Thank-you for sharing!

There you go again Sol...getting me all emotional *sniff*

. As I, who dwell in the dark hours quite a bit, do know, having a friend in this time is a great thing indeed.

Thanks for the wise words, Sol.

Yes, the dark hours can be an important time for sharing. Nice one again, Sol.
