Begin Again
~*Marge Tindal*~


~Begin
a slow descend
that escalates with time
mired in thoughts of ebon blackness
permeating this state of sane-of-mind
spirals drawn of pitch-dark consume
downing me, drowning me
in my need to
Begin~
a slow ascend
reaching upward, within
moving toward the glow of the light
that beckons me 'come higher' in my flight
reaching out to outstretching arms
grasping hands of pure love
I find that I
~Begin
to rise once more
seeking to bask in light
away from this shadow of black
that held me captured for too long a time
in full control of my senses
I am determined to
rise in renew
Begin~

Dear Marge:  This reminds me of trying to escape from a nightmare and I suppose in a way, it is! Very impressive write!

Brilliant, Marge. It had such a surreal, nightmarish quality. The language you used was quite chilling.

Thank you all ... it is always a challenge to me to weave the little Rictameter's together~

Dark and light ... how well they compliment one another~
I write my heart and throw worded-lifelines to friends~

Appreciate the kindness of your replies~

I greatly appreciate the replies and the notice of the presentation form~
I daresay that I 'fudged' just a tad in weaving the form together ... but, somehow it just works for me~

A 'true' Rictameter is comprised of -

First line - two syllables
Second line - four syllables
Third line - six syllables
Fourth line - eight syllables
Fifth line - ten syllables
Sixth line - eight syllables
Seventh line - six syllables
Eighth line - four syllables
Ninth line - ending with the same two syllable word that began the piece~

It just looks 'prissy' to me .. and I love to do them~

Going "up and down" with your rising and beginning.

Very Inspirational

I can close my eyes and feel your words
from a world of darkness, into a world of light...   I can relate to your words, to the feeling of "begin again"
Nice!
Thank you for sharing
