Alone In The Dark

Longing

By George BeigheyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I dream of that which happiness is made

Summer days and breezes from the sea

Of warming waters which wash me as I wade

In the perfection of your love for me

I long for belonging and a sense of place

As a child wakes at the moment of birth

The secure feeling of seeing your face.

More precious than anything sought on this Earth.

It lay expectantly in the palm of my hand

Glowing at me overjoyed to be there

As together we face this cruel harsh land

What could break this bond that we share?

Stronger than iron more powerful than man

Fearless I face anything with this wonder

We've come so far from where we began

No burden too great, no weight to be under

Until I think about the chance

That I might have to lose

My partner in this dance

The only one to choose…

Me.

My mind fears a future an impossible world

A dark place devoid of joy

My heart ripped and unfurled

What God did I annoy?

To deserve any of this pain?

Haven’t I been punished enough?

To be banished to the rain?

I don't know how to be tough

I search in my mind

I rage against the dying of the light!

Is the God I love so unkind?

To baptize me in enternal night?

I reach for you, my fingers seek

The soft of you, I sense no mark

The light of you, but not a peek

In this despair… I'm alone and afraid in the dark.
