Dark Night Dawning

Dark Night Dawning

Dark night dawning


Hope wings into my life
time to end the days of strife.
The dark alleys I roamed
turn to pages of delightful poems.

Music on the windy waves
merges with my spirit, saved.
Moonlight spreads on hills and dales
releases the soul from nightmare’s jail.

Dark nights dawn on a note of light
spilling across the sky colors bright.
Leaves on the trees wear a new green
flowers and buds attain a novel sheen.

The meandering stream spins a sweet song
Its fall-rise reflects life’s rights and wrongs.
With the sound of silence filling my mind
I know, in a short while things will be fine.
