Hours of Darkness Jessica Cruz Jessica Cruz is a student in S. Webster's creative writing class Look up at the moon’s skull in the sky.
Immerse yourself into the night of no lies.
Take your heart and put it in the trees,
And in the bright lights along the city streets.

Wear your mask upon your face,
But take it off when you sense his grace.

Religion’s puppet dances around you.
The question is, do you dance too?
Dance with or on the heart of truth?

Fate peeks her way around and through things.
Do you take notice or wait till the bee stings?
Or do you chance and let your heart sing?

Still you wear your mask upon your face,
But take it off when you sense his grace.

The guide in the dark,
Catch the loving spark.
Let him see you,
And you shall see him.
