Barrier

Clawing her way in Wounded by attempts A powerful force confining her to darkness Hortatory screams reflecting her pain Fall quickly to the earth Buried with the others She surrenders Head lowered in defeat Teardrops fade into the hollow Alone again as darkness holds her A sliver of moon once so full Illuminates her fight She moves One step...two steps The hurt inside no match for her determination She quietly pleads Open She continues her search as she has before As she has, so many times before

Thanks Keith. I had no idea how cathartic poetry could be..both written and read..I must thank all of these poets who are helping to heal wounds I have had for far too long. :)
