Cloak of wickedness too naked <br />To shield your true sunbeam light <br />Although the world around us in disarray <br />And hope seems no where to be found <br />And all that we hold sacred falls apart <br />And darkness like the plaque spread its alarms <br />And beneath it wings dear friends die <br />And the mourner’s blackness not dark enough <br />-The victimized never lie- <br />And families from pain torn apart <br />Rivers of tears dry up <br />Cracks in the earth appear- that once new spring - <br />And fields of plenty once adorned our thoughts <br />No more, no more to share and to care yield <br />But instead the brush of hellish fire rages full <br />Burn the heart of innocence from the child <br />Yet in spite of it all… <br />The Sun, your Sun will rise again <br />Like gentle rain from April’s song <br />And wash away all gloom and doom <br />Hope restored to sacred land <br />Where you walk I follow hand in hand <br /> <br />October 20th 2013 <br />Copyright Leaking Pen 2013<br /><br />Leaking Pen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hand-in-hand-i-follow/
