Ode of the Odds

He was lying in the bed with fading memories,

Fragments and flashes that lighted momentarily,

Words consumed in the vacuum of loneliness,

Pulled down by the gravity of fear,

Lost in the valley of darkness,

He was waiting for the absolution in the void…

By the side she was holding his hand,

Looking into his eyes for the lost love,

Breathing in the moments of past,

Hoping against the wall of certainty,

She was fighting with the strike of time…

Abused and scarred by the on lookers,

Broken many a time by the morbid mob,

Stained by the hollow preachers,

She was falling and crashing in the quest…

But nothing could shadow her fiery  will ,

Nothing could defeat her resolute mind,

Nothing could put out the truth inside,

Flaming the light of truth inside her,

Lighting the darkened path,

She was rising against the odds with him..
