The night has covered the skies
In eternal deceptive disguise
The winds blow the leaves afar
Waiting for the darkest hour
…
Is there a familiar face
In this cruel and haunted place?
Have I left behind a trace
Of shallowness and disgrace?
…
Is there a way out
Of all the confusion and doubt?
Hear me scream and shout
When I don’t know what this is about
…
Should I let the dark frighten me?
Should I just let the nightmares be?
It may be hard now for me to see
But I know the light will set me free
…
Waiting for the darkest hour
To come and reveal who we are
If the truth has flown too far
I’ll bring it back and let it scar
Thank you for your likes on my posts Frank. There is a sadness in your poems which worries me. I did one on these dark hours in July (https://anthonyinuk.com/2016/07/31/dark-light/) which seems to dovetail with this. Take heart my friend.
