JOURNAL #27 arch
that gallant brow
the rival of Grin
awakes
to amuse warmth
and unseat the day
of its usual sickly mirth
huddled shutters of envy
will remain closed
to the self drilled
in their chilly damp
versions of self
ah, but from the draperies of hope
tenderness peaks out
to return each cheerily chimed
Hello!
every last new conquest
no matter how small
still continues to jar my soul
with its joy
yet, I know
the darkness cannot stay dark
for too long
not if light barges in
passed its brittle defenses
to meet it in its gloom
I rise up even further in myself
'Spiritual Housekeeper' of hope
that I am
to brush away
more and more darkness
with the light of the Lord's own
loving, glowing face
working through me
like a lovely river un damned.............
