This Darkness, Too
by Kathryn KayGod, how do I go on from here?
What happens, now?
The only world I care about is gone.
I know I must go on some way but how, God, how?
There seems so little left to build upon.
The fine incentives that I had before are dead,
and what did all my eager effort prove?
Futility, perhaps, but God, what lies ahead?
What is the next move when there is no move?
I know I’m not the only one who feels like this,
the world itself is torn and troubled, too.
It waits the time when doubt will find its nemesis
as night in day, as…oh, God, is that the clue?
The answer?…God, I think I see now why You gave
the promise of a dawn to every night….
God, suddenly it is no effort to be brave–
this darkness, too, will pass into the light!(Goldfish Privacy © 2005, reprinted with permission)
