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.............
