Is there depth in absolution? <br />From that which isn't mine <br />Is there freedom for the victim? <br />From the guilt that masks the crime <br /> <br />Is there justice for the soul that cries <br />For redemption from the past? <br />That struggles through confrontation <br />In innocence now passed <br /> <br />Demons dog the darkest hour <br />Seeking freedom in the light <br />Yet linger in the shadows <br />Delighting in your fright <br /> <br />Will the shroud that wraps the conscious <br />Fall in tatters to the ground <br />In seeking absolution <br />Can a new life still be found.<br /><br />Graham Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/absolution-7/
