Dark midnight clouds cover the light <br />In the distance the way seems so black <br />Motionless but yet continuing <br />The spring of time has fallen <br />All hope seems to fade into a deep grave of loneliness <br />Hope of climbing out of the pit has now been surrendered <br />And numbness takes control <br />Feeling nothing but drops of the heart <br />Falling upon a once brighter way <br />Take the breath that keeps this mortal soul <br />Let the battle be or’ <br />Defeat is round the bend <br />When the sands of time cry for hope <br />And their sound echoes from glass walls <br />Each grain descends upon the next <br />And soon all vanish to the bottom <br />Buried in this hour glass of life<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/darkness-74/
