Victorious Sorrow

The darkest night of December

ever my life has known,

sitting here by the embers

stunned, helpless, alone.

The songs of victory

drowned in sorrow.

Never again will they see

the light of tomorrow.

It was strange to feel so happy and

triumphant and yet feel like crying.

Then again, it's not surprising when

so many around me here lay dead or dying.

Blue-black is our

ever darkening horizon.

The painful memory of that past

keeps me constantly on the run.

The darkest night of December

ever my life has known,

sitting here by the embers

stunned, helpless, alone.
