Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

Closer To Fine

Darkness engulfs my lone soul, 
Like a big black gaping hole, 
Falling deeper and deeper, 
Like an unending creeper
Into the bottomless pit
Of dank depression, I quit, 
"I am fine", I answer all, 
But in dead despair, I crawl, 
Lost in labyrinthine mind, 
Elusive light, will I find? 
Doubts nag, fears overcome me, 
Tenebrous mirage, I see, 
Spiralling down to a chasm, 
Hope is a far off phantasm, 
Caliginous courage lost, 
This void feeling does exhaust, 
These clouds will soon pass, they say, 
Broken, on my knees, I pray, 
"Lord, lift me up, give me peace, 
Tantalizing turmoil cease"
Tears run down like a river, 
Peace enfolds as I shiver, 
Prayer answered, darkness gone, 
I spy the light of the dawn, 
Healed purely by grace divine, 
Now, I am closer to fine.
