                            Decent

                           If I must
                         Wake this day
                          I must hold
                         Fears at bay.

                       The darkness claws
                      Up out of my dreams,
                           What I see
                     Is not what it seems.

                        Out of the fire
                          Into the ash
                       A soul come undone
                     Under reality’s lash.

                    The white light of pain
                     Casts shadows on grief
                       Into the darkness
                       I cast for relief.

                      I dread what I find
                          I am my foe,
                      To win is to loose,
                      To loose is to grow.

                    In  absence of light
                     Darkness can’t heal.
                         As I descend,
                        Into the night.

~John D,...I really enjoyed the flow here and the sort of hammering into me thing going on. Had kind of a beat to it. A beat with a message that is. I'm glad that I caught this. It was surely time well spent. I do enjoy your writing. Take care now. *Peace.
