The Illusive Way
The insanity consumes her mind
In a state of misery and sadness
Grasping to find the glimmer of Truth,
Hoping to find it in the madness
Her injuries bleed and stain the air
with crimson and
blackened despair
She surrenders to it's fateful state
As demons take her to their lair
There she dances in Desperation's delight
the familiar darkness turns on a light
Inflamed with anger,
Soul filled with rage
Tears open the door now
Of Hope engaged
Love's redemption, Grace flooding in
Through the door of Faith
She is free again!
By Sandy Sinn
