Unbroken Night
There are times when you think you will not get out alive
When forces are plotted against your plan to survive
When the crushing weight of life pushes you down
And a myriad of great injustices around you abound
It is easy, in those darkest moments, to lose hope
Weighed by all the trials and tribulations you must cope
To suddenly feel that you have become so small
That to the rest of the world you donβt matter at all
Every person wrestles with these feelings at times
As self-doubt and self-worth collide in our minds
And though our pains and losses may greatly vary
The same weight of the world on our shoulders we carry
Do not let the malaise of a particularly dark moment
To creep in so deep as to become a component
A constant cog in your emotional machine
That drapes the soul so no hope can be seen
Fight back with strength of heart for all that you are
There were times when you didnβt think you’d get this far
But you saw it through with great strength and pride
Finding life again when you broke through the other side
Stand strong and rail against those chanting head voices
Know that your road ahead is still filled with choices
And know that with you we all stand in support
For no one wins by a grieved fatal final resort
Though your light may have dimmed in your eyes
Its necessity may come as somewhat a surprise
For our world without your sacred loved light
Moves us all a little closer to a darker night
And although it may be somewhat clichΓ© to say
That it is darkest just before the break of day
Truer words may have never been spoken
And can help push away the night unbroken
I suspect that this poignant poem comes from the loss of one of the band of dragon slayers. Well written!
I cannot deny that his passing has certainly spawned some needs to express. Thanks for all the love and support!
