Glitter......

Alone I dwelled in my solitary dungeon

A dungeon seeping with pain and filth

Darkness dust and slimy slimy creatures

Crawled and coiled into my soul

Life blood oozed from my open wounds

As the dreary days crept on and on

With an ice cold heart and putrid sores

I waited for the dawn of dusk

Dawn did come but not of dusk

It was the dawn of a bright sunshine

She came to my dungeon with dreamy eyes

And swept away the filth and grime

Softly with care and endless hope

I held her lovely tender form

Precious she was and kiss I did

And held on to her radiance

I thought of darkness dust and filth

I thought of them with dread and fear

But with the sunshine close to me

I forgot them like a bad old dream

Sunshine....I know you will have to fly

To light up one more distant heart

Will I languish in darkness and filth?

Or will I glitter the way i do?

Sublime hope with its tender wings

Sure do glimmer once in a while

The glimmer is brief and laced with haze

But that’s all which comforts me
