Poetry Drafts / 27 July 2017

I took myself to church

There was darkness until
I opened my eyes
Beholding the beauty that
Lay before me
I saw that of which
The poets write
The essence of songs and
That which make our
Hearts beat.

N.B. The title was unapologetically stolen from a line from a poem by @wordswritteninsilence
