I lay here on the bed alone Outside I hear the wind moan It is an eerie mournful sound That echoes through me in leaps and bounds It reverberates right through my soul Spreading lonliness is its goal Whispering to my deepest fear Beware I am now very near I will not surrender without a fight Somewhere ahead I know there's a light But first I must embrace the dark Then on a new journey I will embark Come to terms with the past Emerging from the dungeon here at last I see the break of a new day A bright shining sun lights the way Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Jenn, Very well expressed. We often must accept the darkest hours with only the faith that light will reappear. Funny thing though... dawn always comes again. And isn't it beautiful when it does? Excellent poem! Trev. |

Come to terms with the past Emerging from the dungeon here at last I see the break of a new day A bright shining sun lights the way. Very expressive words here...I love that there is hope and something to look forward to..I enjoyed this a great deal...~ ~Cherie~ |

Beautiful poem... I can relate to it quite well for I have often felt alone many times. You described it beautifully... why not see my poem, "Loneliness" ? Well done! ~Artistic~ "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters" -Henry David Thoreau |
