Poem

A Darkened Path 



 l. 
 Into a dark hallway I pass through
 rest relics of dead days and dark nights;
 my body ever so sorely bruised, the pains
 speed me onward into another realm,
 gathering strength to fight this new abode
 so like my imagined image of raging in hell


 ll.
 Down from nowhere flies rays of purple rage
 a past deliverance from bygone age,
 as those cuts soak my heart in saddened blood;
 stones pile neatly around my deadened feet
 a tribute to my callous heart and ways,
 another justice blocking my desired path


 lll.
 A window opens into a shining room,
 the glare sings out words that so shock,
 my eyes see but my ears fail me now
 as silence binds with words in the air;
 death rests within the next door in my path

 I that embraced rage with such delightful passion
 find no comfort in this massive new fear,
 a fruit of my dark days racing upon this earth
 with hate in my heart and a mouth full of dirt

 
Robert Lindley,
 1978

Note--  Written so long ago.  Very  rarely did I write in any form other than rhyme.
tucked into an old book. I was shocked to find this written in a letter that I never sent, then tucked into an old book.
