Guidance of Neon Lights

Loss cuts like a knife
Where you once were silence grows
The city halo beckons
While the breath of death
Lingers right beneath my skin
Tempting glow of fate calls me

Start over again
Without you, yet without dread
Lighting my heart once again
City of Angels
Leading me back to hope, life
Let you go, a new hello

It really is hard to take another stab at life once you have been hurt, Shani. I could feel your pain and was happy to see that you are being led back to hope again in the end. Excellent Poem! Congratulations on your win in PD's contest! Love, Carolyn
