Dark dreary night
I sat there in fright
Lonely, silent and gloomy
None could see my plight
Deep in my thoughts
Flooding me ever more with draughts
I wasn't always like this
Times were there-full with bliss
Beloved near, laughter and cheers
Family close and so were peers
A weak smile adorned my face
Happiness around and no race
The brain is stormy but the heart is hollow
Alone I sat and no one to follow
Came a shadow and sudden cry
Came a 'vulture' as if to grill & fry
Ran a shrill over my spine
Oh God! Come upon me & shine
A burning desire to run and hide
But no thick tree or cave behind
Horrendous shadows, shrill noise
Trying to cry but chocked my voice
Deep within, still a Hope Survives
For bereaved like me, The Help arrives
Lo! He heard my deepest sigh
Soon I saw an angel high
A ray of hope
shining bright
Childlike body and wings in flight
Soon disappeared the darkest sorrows
'Vulture' was shot dead with the angel's arrows.
