Poem Title:
Poem
Alone and desperate Searching for the words Sweet music in my head, The sorrow of birds. The walls are closing in on me, The room lit with shadow But my hope has left me Naked and alone. I search for a path, One that's right and true, But I've lost all hope In what the world can do. I search in the darkness Through my perceptive mind For any ray of truth Any word that's kind. Drops of despair fall down my cheek As I stare into the glass, Silently waiting in the quiet For these feelings to pass. Glaring into the tunnel All I see is smoke, My vision is cloudy As I begin to choke. In this foggy vessel, I begin to lose my sight When suddenly I see it, A radiant image of light. This figure is Angelic, Calling out my name Beckoning me closer, Reaching from my shame. I stumble as I draw nearer But she helps me to stand I feel my body numbing As I take the angel's hand. We begin to walk together This angel by my side I know nothing can hurt me Because my faith is deep inside. The angel stops the demons From lashing at my back, From spitting wicked words And maintaining their attack. She guides me always forward Keeps me on the track I leave behind the evil Never to look back. She pulls me to the sunlight, Out of the darkened hole She puts light back my heart And raises up my soul. She makes me happy And she helps me through Reminds me of the good things I once knew. Although heaven-sent, She is of the earth She is my best friend; I know what she's worth. A true friend knows Your song and its chords, And can sing it for you When you forget the words. She'll always be there As a listening ear A shoulder to cry on For all of your tears. She'll be by me always She'll always be near This is my heart She'll always be in here.
