Confession

Poem by Harvey Gillman

by Harvey Gillman 19th April 2024

I come to a place of light
in an ocean of darkness.

They said: Stand still in the light,
submit to its power.
When temptation came
and troubles appeared
I was to sink to the bright seed.
Troubles would be hushed
and darkness fly away.
