Broken Darkness



The darkness has broken~

A new day behold

For words yet unspoken~

And beauty untold



My soul is filled with sunshine~

My heart is filled with love

I live every moment~

With the guidance from above



When the day has ended~

I lay me down to rest

I feel a peace within my heart~

I know I have done my best
