Rebecca Larkin Poet Rhyme

Darkness

September 29, 2012
-------------------------

This secret life of lies you keep
Cause me to stumble and in pain to weep
Shine a light in the darkness
Help me travel safely through this darkness
This wretched, blasted dark you keep me in
All the doors locked, I crash into obstacles never to win
This race, not without a light
Without a glimmer, a candle, something to grant me some sight
Because I can't continue to wonder-
This darkness on my own blindly
I try to ease my way around the blocks
But still, in the dark, I fail to see the holes
And I fall-hard
And you're gone
And alone I weep
Because I cannot make my way without fail
All I ever wanted was to be your friend
But you will not let me in
So I continue to blindly wonder in the darkness
Always stumbling
Always falling
Always failing

Laura Breidenthal August 9, 2013 at 8:37 PM It is hard to find the light when at last we have accepted the darkness around us. Fight the darkness and have courage and you will be out in a heartbeat. There is always someone who will help you through if you ask. Amazing work here. Always, Laura

Audrey Haick October 14, 2012 at 2:33 PM Beautiful! I may have read this incorrectly, Rebecca...and if that's the case, forgive me. So often we ask for help, but I know most of my life I've been impatient..always wanting to do things on my own, in my own time..until I learn to surrender to His will... Nevertheless, this is a beautiful poem and will add it to my favorites today. Have a blessed day. Love, Annalise
