Chasing

Inky blackness swirls about
seeking to devour me
from within, 
And I am chasing.


I chase the light,
though it falters
though it fades.
This light I chase dissipates,
Flying away to a heaven I cannot reach.


My ears are left ringing, 
and I am left


chasing only shadows.

I look for specific flow in poetry when reading and this one had me looking on to read the next line each time. Very difficult to do for many. I dig it. Good job. Keep up the good work.
