When alone

In silent night
In dark despair
Where spirit flies

From searching light
From those who care
Dare open eyes

To blinded sight
To soul laid bare
Spare your disguise

For love’s respite
For love’s repair
There realize

When you re-unite
When you learn to share
Forswear the lies

You'll be alright
You'll hear my prayer
Ere the sun's rise

Well done!

I really enjoyed this. Simple rhymes, great word play, and a sincere theme.
I did, however, find the last stanza a bit awkward...particularly the last line. That aside, good job!

thanks.

I had a bit of a problem with the last line. Took me weeks to finish and I am still not satisfied. Any suggestions?

changed it at last

The last line reads better now as opposed to Ere morn's sunrise. I just need a new view to see it

possibly

I wonder if the last stanza's rhythm might flow better with contractions:
You'll be alright
You'll hear my prayer

and possibly on the last line:
to heaven rise
or
to the heavens rise

You really captured a mood and message with this poem. Thanks again for sharing.

contractions

They do seem to flow better. Thanks again.
