Dark

The shadows lurking in the dark A light that only makes a spark Illuminates the road ahead My feet feel like lead As I trudge along beneath the trees The wind whispering on the breeze I move the branches from my face As I keep um my steady pace Not very far to go The things that await I do not know I see a light as bright as can be It awakens the soul inside of me At last the place I’ve been searching for Now my heart can rest once more

I like the way the title flows throughout this poem. The images are also excellent regarding the trees and the breeze. The rhyming pattern is right on point also. Great job and welcome to Poetry Soup! ~Joseph
