Analysis of The Dark Hour Of The Soul
"ah ! "the innocence of the young child
when shattering of the psyche occurs
the sudden, strange unfathommable
intrusion of night unto day
Egregious indifferance
what great loss !
The whimsical parody
of what should never have been
no more tears
I can no longer cry
a sad chapter ...
in the book of life.
we all survive
we all die
childhood's passing stirs
with dark embrace
the soul that lives inside.
