Through the Darkness

"Nothing can dim the light which shines from within." Maya Angelou

Through the rivets of darkness,

The veil of clouds,

Looms a rampant light:

A star, pivotal in its path,

Bright and luminous

Amidst drudgery and murkiness,

Gleaming ribbons

of age old truths,

Unveiling secrets

Hidden in the grave.

Steady as it streams,

Blinding in intensity,

The starry light

Echoes an ardent plea

For equity and compassion

To conquer the heart of man

And save his very soul.
