The Darkest Hour by ~MurfQ:iconMurfQ:



They say it’s always darkest before the dawn
But what if the dawn is only a dream?
They say there’s a silver lining to every cloud
But what if the cloud bursts its seam?

Could it be that “they” are wrong
And the darkness is now here to stay?
Perhaps “they” just failed to notice
The silver has all vanished away

Some clouds will bring the storm
Some storms will bring destruction
Some times the damage is repaired
But some times there is no restoration

Rebuild you say?
What if the foundation is unjust?
Perhaps a lifetime is not enough
To rebuild a completely shattered trust

The darkest hour
An hour too long
There’s nothing left
Once hope is gone

Oh Lord my God
I need You now
In life’s darkest hour
I need You…

I debated whether or not I would post this one. I generally post my poetry mainly in the hopes that it might offer some encouragement to somebody, and I have my doubts this particular poem is capable of such. But as I lay in bed tonight attempting to sleep and finding sleep to be far from me, I decided to post it anyway. It probably won't stay here long. It feels incomplete in some way. And I guess my greatest fear is that it will not find resolution. I do not care to publicly discuss the specific circumstances that "inspired" this poem. But if it helps to ease anybody's mind, while the situation hasn't really changed, I believe my ability to cope with it has improved at least a little. Perhaps not as much as it needs to, as that is likely why I find sleep so unattainable despite my tired state tonight.

My dear, how I miss reading your poems. I feel a sense of lost hope in this poem. And it just makes me want to cry with it.

Thanks. I haven't been writing my poetry lately. Hopefully I'll rectify that soon as hope has returned to me :)

How have you been doing these days?
