The Vision

The vision brought me into light,
Out of the darkness engulfing,
Taught me to see hope again in spite,
Hope that never again was coming.

To dream a dream of a world,
Built around a vision of mirth,
When my stories while told,
Tears f'lowed sorrows in dearth.

What does a soul do when in pain,
It expects, it hopes, it prays
Not does anyone just explain,
Purifies the soul that's what all just say.

I saw the vision, and I hoped anew,
For a wonderful world to begin,
When t'was all that I had eschewed,
With hope, for love that I had once seen.

But expectations were they, and for the pain to take away,
For eternity the sinners soul in penance to stay,
A pain so searing, excruciating, the vision came to me to say,
Your life my friend, is and will be a night without the light of the day!!!
