Durance

there once became day in time
not of unbroken darkness or
dismal meandering
but of light you’ve never seen
and perched upon a hill
we scorned
and fell upon the deepest hole

mettle healing by the fire
bidding little sighs and peeks
we fathom not His will
but ours
so, black became of every
ray that snuck it’s way
into our hearts
