Finding Your Dark Secret Within

Life has a way of playing games
hiding reality by my blindspot
walk along in life's dark dungeon
looking for the keys since in my cot

This dark dungeon is real deep
each step down is really so dark
unknown and fearful is my plight
wondering where next is no lark

Every waking day stays the same
looking for brighter days in hope
but they don't seem to bring change
renewed strength so that I can cope

One looks for that glimmer of light
just to see that dot way in the dark
keep focused to find that goal
till it breaks through as your spark

Finding your dark secret within
it's so very deep way down there
waiting for your rescue to appear
hold in there, wait for clear air

May all your breaths be comprised of the freshest sweet air Gordon. Its true we must take the darkness we have been dealt and use it to make us stronger and bring us to the light. .... A super poem.

Once that's all there was, darkness, but he created the light for us. Only by following it will it lead us to salvation. Hope your new year is off to a good start Gordon. Tom
