A Song In the Darkness

By Morgan LeFay

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Stillness… Darkness… Nothingness… Cold beyond belief And broken beyond repair. Our world was dead to Magic, Our world was consumed by Despair. And yet, a seed lay ready For a spring that slowly comes; And the song that lies within it Will wake the dormant suns. Watch as the plant extends A cautious, tiny leaf Probing its new world Waiting for its fertilizer of Belief Quietly it grows and stretches Till full-sized it has become; Yet still, there are no flowers And that saving song has not begun And then suddenly it happens! In a perfect burst of light A single Rose has blossomed: Its petals defy the Night And that song, that glorious song Leaps from its shining center there While golden lightning streaks and dances Through triumphant, living air. The Earth will live again! And all the planets know New life begins with joy and hope As the words of that song still echo: “A light in the Darkness, A gleam of Hope in Despair, The promise of Magic, For all times There.”As the words of that song still echo sounds clumsy any ideas on a smoother line meaning the same thing and rhyming with know Written July 30th, 2001 © on Jul 30 2001 09:18 AM PST   0 • 12
