Now the Darkness

Now the Darkness

The dark fingers always reaching out

Streaming black and pessimism without let up

The light is always the past, the gloom cloud in every room

Don’t look too the end of the zoom or you’ll see the inevitable doom

Each fights their battle at every age clearer

It’s natural to see no further than the mirror

For we are logic and reason and know Nature’s conclusion

This leads to illusion and well as bizarre confusion

Times when even the most difficult is easy

Then comes the easy that is so difficult

Battles of life’s emotions day by day that castigate

Sadness the constant in the melancholy world state

Look for a divine whisper in the slow whirlpool of the abysmal

That the soul will get out of this sad trying tribunal

For this is a crucible where innocence is the crime

Unrelenting punishment by design by the divine
