Dawn & Dusk

That was cruel
An unprompted attack
A savage assault
That left me cracked

A shard of pain
Pierced into my side
A terrible black mist
That left me blind

No memory or thought
Was the trigger for this
There is no logical reason
For the appearance of this abyss

Just the cruelty
Of this twisted condition
That revels in torture
My misery, its mission

But these occasional jolts
Are now just reminders
Of its impending defeat
And of its waning power

The mist is lifting
And the wounds are healing
The darkness is vanishing
And the pain is receding
