I Keep

Deep down there where dreams are buried under the realities of everyday life I keep going. Under the bottom of a dry well infested with dark craving creatures smothered over with rusty scraps of traumatic memories I keep hoping Here, there, everywhere Hugging the earth I am surrounded by the spirit to whom I keep praying

Hi Steven, your poem is both very dark and...full of light! I love the contrast and the unusual form. Write on, Terrell (Terry) or just plain old Me):

Terrell, thank you very much for your comment. I don't usually get many, but when they're this good, they're blessings. I am encouraged to "write on!" Again, thank you :)
