Dante's Lament
struck dumb,
blinded,
as your light fades
into the frozen frosted
empty wastes of the past.
the ticking clock
torments the senses
now departed,
strikes the hour
in clamorous anger
for that absent sun.
intoxication rages through
these broken tears
and memories spent.
and the dark shadow of
time looms over the day
'till nothing more remains
but
bitter fatigue
and
sleep

But after that sleep the sun will shine and the light will be with you.
What an amazing write. I really connected to the waves of emotion.
