Its all dark again

Was it so recent that life was all bright and full of promise?

It’s all dark now, I can’t see, just shadows of what was, shadows of what could have been.

That bright energy pouring from my soul, a new journey planned but not made, where is it? It’s all faded now, grey is the brightest colour now, I was used to black; maybe grey has its promise.

Simplicity turns to difficulty, am I broken?, no I think not, just fallen deep into a quagmire, I can get out, will take a while to climb from the darkness, If I look up will I see a circle of promising light what if I climb further down?

One special soul could save me from this; I wonder if that kind soul ever will, no problem, I won’t wear sunglasses here, my eyes cannot be seen and I cannot see my eyes.

Do I like this darkness, I feel cold, is it better than being warm?

I’m used to it now, it hides me from view, I’m silent, and I’m darkness.

It’s dark again.

This pictures sadness, but your ability get past that dark moments of your life is promising.

We all go through at some point in time. Part of falling just to experience the glorious feelings of rising up.

You'll get through in no time.

I hope you'll find her and she'll find you.

Great write.wave

I've seen some of your comments around and many were very funny. . .first time I've seen something sad. You seem like a thoughtful guy; hope you feel better, but in the meantime, that's a really nice way to deal with and describe it.

You're a poet and you didn't know it...wave

The words hit you like a canon ball! The description of darkness is very vivid, and the promise that tomorrow is another day with the hope that it will bring better times......the black vis-a-vis the grey. Being positive and looking at the good around us is the key to seeing the world and life without the sunglasses on, and appreciating the fact that we still have blood running through our veins. Thank you for sharing.

Now we know you have the talent of poetry
In fact it's staring clear in clarity
what vision it shows beyond the darkness
And better than a novel of Stephen King

I feel goosebumps just reading it
like a story being told by ourselves
a mirror image or poetry reflection
of tiny bits of the surreal world within

Thank you sir
