THE EYES OF DARKNESS
In the radiance of diverse rainbows
I remained silent in secret grief
Thinking how my end would be
Sadness seemed to dwell a tenant
In the brittle silence of the desert night
Sighted with resignation and opened my eyes
In a moment of crazy dark despair
The alternatives were too frightening
Grimacing at the bitterness of the spirits
Lying down in an enclosure
Sitting without posture
Tears rolling down my cheeks hoping

THE EYES OF DARKNESS

I remained silent in secret grief
Thinking how my end would be
Sadness seemed to dwell a tenant
In the brittle silence of the desert night
Sighted with resignation and opened my eyes
In a moment of crazy dark despair
The alternatives were too frightening
Grimacing at the bitterness of the spirits
Lying down in an enclosure
Sitting without posture
Tears rolling down my cheeks hoping
