DELIVERANCE
Maria Netto
Ah! Now my Life a
fathomless
Ocean of interminable
nothingness.
In self-pity to wallow
forever;
Why me? I plead for a
deep insight,
For Deliverance from
unending Night.
Disillusions, Darkness,
Despair;
With these am I
enshrouded,
With not the faintest
hope to repair
My Ravaged being. So
clouded
These skies, that I see
no trace,
No hint of resplendent
rainbow.
I implore my God for
inner grace,
So might I step safely
ashore.
