Run Away Poem by Samuel Richard Leonard

From darkness reluctant I do run,
trembling from it's constant call,
endlessly trapped till time is done.

Weary I do sob for darkness won.
Wrapped in misery shall I fall
from darkness? Reluctant I do run.

This poison ne'er pass into my son.
Despair unto only me not all,
endlessly trapped till time is done.

With self-loathing eternal I do shun
my darkness hidden under a shawl.
From darkness reluctant, do I run?

Pray darkness not stray my son,
for glee of the shadows dims us, all
endlessly trapped till time is done.

Deliver me unto Light O Great One.
Pray thee none others do fall.
From darkness reluctant I do run,
endlessly trapped till time is done.
