After the twilight paves way for night
The grim uncertainties raise their tentacles
Waiting to grasp the oblivious heart
Unaware, the soul molds into the dark caverns
Causing agony to the unattended
The hand of the messiah can’t reach
To pull out of the rut, the soul so mangled
Yet, the dawn brings fresh hope the next day
Day full of sunshine illuminates the deepest caverns
Giving hope to even the most troubled souls
Redemption comes with the light kindled in heart
