Darkness Descends Poem by Paul Reed

Darkness Descends



The darkness descends but we burn our lights
To stave off the sorrowful swallowing night
Our lights only penetrate a miniscule of gloom
A fraction of the blackness that has the earth entombed

We know that if we hold hands and pray
That we will be granted another day
When night's enshrouding work is done
Dispersed by the coming up of the sun
