Sonnet Searing
Until now I'd lost all hope in reason
Blankets of disaster tighten the rope
Swift is the pain, happiness is treason
The darkest valleys have the smoothest slope
Something steals time, I find myself shortchanged
Within the trade minutes steal miles unseen
I see that fate surely became deranged
Leaving me to know that I'm still unclean
Darkness becomes ideal from depths below
Twisting twirling compensating the lie
Hope in more than myself lets loose the crow
Winged beast hungry for souls will not comply
Although fallen heroes cancel decay
I find strength in being risen from pain
