Love's Light

I looked to the midnight sky Draped in velvet indigo, It seemed to mirror above The darkness encircling my soul. The deep depths of loneliness, The darkness of being alone, Shadows safe to hide within, Where I could be unknown. Then from the soft grey mists A stranger called my name. Seeing past the shadows, He who my heart would claim. Scattering light in my darkness Banished, loneliness’ bars An artist painting with diamonds He did paint the sky with stars. © Candace 5/28/09 Return to Poetry Index
