DARK DESCENDING NIGHT by John W. Davies

NO THOUGHTS OF LOVE NOR SAINTED GRACE
NO TEARS TRACE TRACKS UPON HER FACE
THOUGHT FREE, LOVING, ETERNALLY
FROM THE BODY IS THE SPIRIT FREE
PASSING, LEAVING, ASCENDING HIGH
LOOKING DOWN FROM THE WAYWARD SKY
ETHEREAL, ETERNAL SPIRIT WHITE
GUIDED BY THE HEAVENS' LIGHT
LONGING, WANTING THESE NO CAN MORE BE
THE CHANGE, THE LOSING, LIFE OR ETERNITY
SCOURED CLEAN BOTH HEART AND SOUL
THE SPIRIT IS NOW COMPLETE AND WHOLE
GRIEVING, LOSS, THE TEARS OF WOE
NOW MUST COME AS LOVE DOES GROW
DESIRE AND NEED, REVENGE AS WELL
CAN MAKE THE EARTH HEAVEN’S HELL
BUT MOMENTS PASS SO SWIFTLY BY
AS WEEPING GABBY SITS TO CRY
HER LOVE DENIED HER HEART IS CRACKED
AS IF FROM LIFE HER SOUL WAS HACKED
A CALM NOW COVERS THE WHOLE WORLD
AND HER GRIEF IS NOW UNFURLED
CRY FOR HER AND FOR US ALL
FOR CLOSE THIS DAY WAS DEATH'S CLARION CALL!
