Sun Blossoms

Cry From The Dark

TODAY my heart is stricken and sore,
My eyes are darkened and blind,
I cannot see your angel-face!
How shall I ever find

In all this overhanging gloom
What once was lost, regain
That smile of paradisal eyes,
Whence love and beauty rain?

Remove this hungering shadow's fire,
This smoke of titan cloud
That stie my Spirits upward urge
With coils of poisonous doubt.

Alone on a timeless smouldering shore
I wait and vainly wait
Counting the green-hooded wild waves,
Until some lurking Fate

Hold me in its fierce dragon-claws,
Or heaven's redemption white
Bring here for my deliverance
Its golden boat of light.

Here are but tears, like silver dew
And ominous whispers round,
And monstrous presences in glee
Dance on Deaths burning ground.

A smothered sigh is the heavy air
And Time a press of pain,
Night trails her sad infinity
Under a sick moons wane!

O unseen stars of my destiny
Shall I yet hear your call
And like an eagle cleave the mists,
Overcoming Natures fall,

And meet that aureoled face of Dawn,
And the vestal fire of my soul,
Daybreak and the flowers' smile,
The Suns divine control!
