Book II: Embrace My Innocence
Chapter V: Looking up to Rainbows and Star Light Skies


The Storm Within

My spirit is lost
But a light still flickers
Into the confines of
The virgin-child’s mind.
Waves of emotion
Slam into focus
As reality storms in.
It is the forbidden darkness
That I am drowning in.
I know there is light,
Just a tiny spark is seen.
Is my spirit there?
