Slumbering light

sorenbarrett

A day when the sun never rose resting in darkness' throes 
Hope sleeps in repose without the grace to remove its clothes
Blanketed night peacefully sleeps not feeling frost's bite that creeps
Truth's ever shining light protected from reality's cold fright weeps

                  • arqios

                    Your poem breathes a haunting yet gentle melancholy, capturing the weight of a world cloaked in endless night. The imagery of hope asleep, unable to shed its covering, evokes a poignant stillness, while frost's creeping bite underscores the quiet ache of vulnerability. In truth's weeping light, there is both sorrow and defiance; a sense that even through veils of darkness, its essence endures, waiting for the dawn to lift the shroud. A deeply stirring and evocative piece!
