Darkness engulfing silent and dreary
Knowledge ebbing... ebbing... now ceasing
Mind is weak, endlessly groping
Toward a vast unknown uncharted
in a void of obsidian
drowning

following

Cacophonous jangling
Midst raging infernos
Cavorting fire consumes unabated
Voices clamoring loudly as
mind and spirit free fall
tumbling

run away
run away,


Hope diminishing
Crashing on rocks below
Thunder mocks dreams defeated
Darkness deepening as
defeat claims all
keening

keening
wailing
lost


Lost and blundering
Bewildering blindness
As a raven stuffed and mounted
or
As a kitten newly nascent
nourishment sightlessly eagerly
seeking

seeking
seeking


Eyes opening... awakening
Sight wondrously increasing
Hope again dawning
Fear must flee as
truth returns gradually
calmly

come child
come weary child


Spirit of hope softly calling
Gentle breezes lift precious words
Arise my love and live
Voice whispers as
warming glow visits horizon
illuminating

come see
oh, yes, come see!


Trumpet sounding joy!
Glory in magnificence unfolding
Golden and glorious the breaking of day
Light of the world
engulfing darkness

come soon
Lord Jesus, yes
come soon

I love the swaying motion from darkness to light. Well done, a message my eyes needed to see right now.

Amazing. Beautiful language. Wonderful message.

I was so enticed to keep reading with your trailing words after each stanza. I couldn't wait to see what came next! :) Your choice of words made your poem feel like it was "moving" (if that makes sense).
