Darkness

September 29, 2012 ------------------------- This secret life of lies you keep Cause me to stumble and in pain to weep Shine a light in the darkness Help me travel safely through this darkness This wretched, blasted dark you keep me in All the doors locked, I crash into obstacles never to win This race, not without a light Without a glimmer, a candle, something to grant me some sight Because I can't continue to wonder- This darkness on my own blindly I try to ease my way around the blocks But still, in the dark, I fail to see the holes And I fall-hard And you're gone And alone I weep Because I cannot make my way without fail All I ever wanted was to be your friend But you will not let me in So I continue to blindly wonder in the darkness Always stumbling Always falling Always failing

It is hard to find the light when at last we have accepted the darkness around us. Fight the darkness and have courage and you will be out in a heartbeat. There is always someone who will help you through if you ask. Amazing work here. Always, Laura

Beautiful! I may have read this incorrectly, Rebecca...and if that's the case, forgive me. So often we ask for help, but I know most of my life I've been impatient..always wanting to do things on my own, in my own time..until I learn to surrender to His will... Nevertheless, this is a beautiful poem and will add it to my favorites today. Have a blessed day. Love, Annalise
