Darkness Poem by Kayode Ogunleye

Darkness

Rating: 5.0


A formless mass cloaked in darkness
being created by God
Originally covered the earth
Separated from light
And called night
comes when the sun sets

darkness as a symbol
for the mysteriousness of man
for affliction and ignorance about God
sinful deeds are deeds of Darkness
Darkness being dispel
And surrounded with light
heaven as no night
Darkness, Darkness, Darkness
