Samantha Abram Poet Lyric

Into the Dark

Silently; I admire the last summer twilight. 
From below the horizon light’s glow prevails. 
blissful: the feeling of suspension between day and night 

There's an eerie pause in onward motion as time stands still. 
A flicker of universal stretching of light in full view.
Too soon the sky is replaced with a terrifying hill.

My mind crumbles as dark falls all around. 
Shadows descend bringing a crisp, quiet chill. 
Weighted down by my silence,  I'm upward journey bound. 

In a panic I look around but all I see is wall. 
Not yet knowing the climb begins with a downward spiral. 
Lonely; I embark on my inward fall.

Gershon Wolf December 28, 2017 at 9:53 PM Hi, Samantha, My name is Gershon Wolf. I'm new to Poetry Soup, just having posted my first poems today. Two comments about your poem: First, the narrative and the imagery worked for me. I felt both the hope and the terror. Second, I like how you captured the universal theme of falling before rising. ---gw Gershon Wolf December 28, 2017 at 9:54 PM
