A voice in the dark whispers

 



Foundation.


With uncertainty flowing like a molten volcano around the world, and online. 


Is it within dark times like these, we should try to bring more light into the world?


Title:


A voice in the dark whispers


Lookup

Not down


And be drawn

Into spiritual degradation


Or dark temptations

Linked to politics or the flesh

By the Red Dragon 


But to blue clouds

Filled with sacred tetragons


With belief in whatever you know as good, be held

In-Depth


For the son of Cronus and Rhea


Brother of Zeus and Poseidon

Grows ever near


To welcome you into his waterless Barren Lands


Delighting in unimaginable fear


So be

Precipitous


And look up to

Defeat the rolling Abyss

Ruled by Hades 


Hidden 

Within

Its mists


Espouse goodness

While you still

Live


Like a sweet Valentine's Day kiss


And try to avoid

The Void 


Filled with those 

Who now pay a hefty

Price


But enter into new lands of Spiritual Paradise


With your selfless acts

Of kindness and self-sacrifice 


Will you try to do good?


Or will you follow those who will suffer bitterness, when a star called, Wormwood, 

Falls?
