From Darkness to Light

by Michael D Nalley   Jun 15, 2009


In the void of light, deep in the night, my heart hoped for love.
I crept unnoticed, into this peace, far from the tempest above.

In darkness so pure, I felt quite secure, as I searched my sublime soul.
Yet, not exalted, my illusions halted, as the whole truth was my goal.

It was not my bereavement by any human achievement. I was seen by none,
As I awaited the Life, the Truth, and the Way, the Spirit burned from the Son.
.
I knew that as sure as day, the darkness of night would end soon,
As sure as every morning is followed by the coming of noon.

While the earth turns, the lovely passion burns, as the sun rises anew.
And my beloved mystified me toward heaven, like the morning dew.

Divinely kissed in the mist, baptized by my pain
Nourished gently like wild flowers in the rain.

I enjoyed the peace of the one wounded by love, and came to understand,
He was there all along, like a lovely song, wanting me to take his hand

My feet left the ground as what's lost has been found, love is mine to keep.
Darkness will cease, and many find peace, when the Shepherd finds His sheep.

    This piece is wonderful!! The flow is flawless and its extremely touching. The imagery was perfect, like a movie in my head. Even though I'm not a religious person myself, I have to admire your faith and optimism. Also I like the format you have put this piece in, its different from what I usually read because most times I find the flow to be off, but you have done it perfectly. A truely great piece keep up the good work 5/5

    A very inspiring piece. I wont go through the style, flow, rhyming etc as you already have outdone these basics..I admired the optimistic side of you, despite of all the pains, tragedy, sacrifices in this life yet you still manage to stand up with full trust in him..Good job..

    First of you did a great job with the poem. The imagery was really good in this poem and also your rhyming was different then most poems but for the most part you did a great job with it. The flow also was good and you had a great chose of words in this poem and that made it that much better. The emotion in this poem I can also tell was really great and all in all you did a great job and the only thing wrong would be punctuation but thats okay though. So good job and a 5/5 from me.
