Dawn & Dusk

In the darkness
And the bitterness of tears
In this tragic nightmare
This fear of all fears

I found a small stone
A pebble, no less
A shard of hope
Given to me in this duress

Every day I clasped it
It began to grow
And notched in its surface
Little truths to me, it would show

I learned that sorrow
Is just a passing thing
And that pain is a prince
Who will never be king

Hope stands unmatched
At the end of my story
Whether in this life
Or when I am taken to glory

One day I will be immersed
In glorious light
And that bitter darkness
Will be left behind
