Darkness Fleeting

The depth of your inkwell

the breadth of your pain

where life springs eternal

again and again

 

To suffer the moment

in timeless refrain

releasing the freedom

removing the stain

 

Each diamond unpressured

betrays like the night

whose darkness is fleeting

and gone with the light

 

Your quill reaching deeply

for what came before

and what lives forever

—in words evermore
