Suddenly I was, but could not see < !signature-->Where am I now? what could I be? Can’t break through the darkness, as hard as I fight I’m kicking and pushing and reaching for light Tighter and tighter this world is closing in I thought this was the beginning, but it must be the end Twisting and turning, I’ve found a way out This world is cold and bright, I let out a shout Opened my eyes, now I can see I’m looking at you, you’re looking at me Crawling then walking, now learning the way From my interpretations of all that you say This world is shrinking, years pass by years My family has died, and left me in tears Old and weak now, I let out a sigh I lay down to sleep, it’s my turn to die From darkness to light to darkness again Now it’s all over, this is the end What’s this? a tunnel, at the end a light Walking then running, I’ve regained my sight Through all that you learn, and all that you do Remember this message I have for you When you lose somebody, there’s no reason to mourn They did not die, they've just been born Love is the law, love under will.

I do believe that this is the first poem of yours that I have read. I am impressed! That was an excellent look at the cycle of life. Well captured, well portrayed and you kept me reading, anticipating the next line. Welcome to Passions! I hope to see your name floating around the forums! Trev. |
