In The Darkness (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Cornelius van der Merwe)

When everything around me and in my thoughts it's black,
You do bring to me words and phrases and their meaning,
You are the light that finds the way to where words do go
and even if all of the world is held in a kind of darkness,
You do help me to look with other eyes to everything around me,
where I notice how all things do look against each other,
where affinity and separation lies in all of this,
You do fill my heart when my own spirit and will wants to die
and even if I stand at the abyss of the endless naught,
there are still stars gleaming over me into the distance,
while You with absolute truth go straight to the core,
You do bring joy, happiness and love in my sorrow and distress,
where hieroglyphics suddenly are deciphered and gets stature
as You do give all of the words, lines and thoughts to me.
