When the heavens cast their eyes on me, <br />they cried - I felt their tears on my face; <br />their tears, they drench me... <br />and I felt cold. <br />When the stars cast their eyes on me, <br />they fell - and I was left in darkness <br />with the ringing evening bells. <br />The moon, when she cast her eyes on me, <br />she died - and was buried in dark clouds; <br />I was left alone and homeless... <br />and thought I might as well die; <br />for the evening bells are ringing... <br />the heavens - they're still crying. <br />The stars are all but fallen. <br />But no, I'll never stay in darkness. <br />I cast away the dark clouds in my thoughts <br />and looked up in the heavens. <br />They still cry but their tears are sweet - <br />I smiled and felt the tender coldness <br />it brought in my weary feet. <br />The stars have fallen, the moon has died, <br />for the sun has risen and has brought its light. <br />Heavens gave way, the evening bells retired. <br />The darkness chose me but I have chosen light. <br />Death has crept its way and chose me <br />but I have chosen life. <br /> <br /> <br />29 January 2011 <br />Batac<br /><br />Jessel Jane Tevar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/helaman-14-31/
