Can the light shine down from the heavens? <br />Could it sooth the pain of living in this dark place? <br />Is it only there to make us suffer? <br />Knowing that it's just out of reach? <br />Would it look down on us with pity? <br />Or sneer on in spite? <br />For what sins has it decided our fate? <br />Should it ever welcome this putrid soul in its gates?<br /><br />Heather Owens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-calling-12/
