A Story

as the light slowly faded and the dark night engulfed the land
Sitting in the dark of the night, in the midst of loneliness
as the sun sets down on the horizon, i sit back up, trying to get a glimpse, of the journey ahead
I stare at the blank page, trying to write the thousand and one thoughts running through my mind
i find myself drawn into a deep, dark corner, far away from the happiness and joy that graces the occasion
lonely, confused and sad, it feels as if i was just a shadow of the day, in light i exist and in darkness, i am gone
far away in the distant horizon, the sun slowly starts to set and makes way for the dark, moonless night
alone and none to care for, but now things are different, things have changed; walking the line between sanity and insanity
i stare into this crazy world, waving a small white flag, hoping to find a truce to this madness

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
