Salvation

Upon them a light dawned
Pulsing through the night
Bringing angst to a halt
Providing them respite

Eons of unease
Racing towards its end
Servants of darkness
Soon to apprehend

Despair reached for hope
Mounting upon its wings
Pain laughed with joy
Breathing love's vaporings

Hate traded compassion
For a ray of sun
Hurt and her quarrels
Quickly came undone

Broken hearts were mended
Repaired from deep within
Giving man the peace
Of comfort in his skin
