RISE by msughTer amuA (Day 28 of KSR 31 Days

Leave the dark and walk the faith in the light of the pen of msughTer amuA, apostle of light and one of Benue, Nigeria's fine bards. However the times go, hold on in faith believing for a little glowing spark that will light your way and turn your darkness to day. Enjoy!

Deep within the human heart there lies
A darkness that beclouds so many eyes
Of even those who at sight seem so bright
With a fill of minds with endless night.

It’s evil of the night that lurks in the mind,
It’s in their malice for what they can’t find,
Its roots spread to take a rabid hold,
Its poison to all that was once the gold.

So many for naught suffer,
So many hearts and minds a twisted buffer
So many, pain in fear and endless strife,
So many, in bitter struggle and scuffle through life.

I see flickers of light rising from the dark,
I see a tiny flame yield a glowing spark,
I see that which ignites to light the way,
I see the night turn into a day.

Why not the light, seek then within,
Why not banish all that’s within, dark and grim,
Why not your hearts fill with love,
Why not rise above and soar above?
