Poem Of The Day

9.10.25

Light at the End of the Tunnel-POTD

Take initiative go to the light where the force of darkness ends
A flame needs its kindled source as a sparking awareness mends

Our enlightened energy wrapped in an array of cavernous colors
Ribboned radiant impressions given in vast deepest depths squalors 

A shadow self may live dormant and await unveiling the chaos within
When it has become an unbearable journey to live in your own skin

Opaque indigo stones skim over shallow waters in an empty well
Stratas rock labyrinths chiseled lies of neglect in a nautilus shell

Warm sorrel ribbon evokes sympathy in a disparaged tale of woe
A sorbet of violet, green, and tangerine conjure a melodious flow

What is truly a wellspring of a healing rainbow palette renders
We find the key to unlocking magic embers in dormant chambers
                                                         
Dank darkness may lead us astray from individuality and truth                                                    
Take initiative, find the light of all brightest light reaching for you

We live with our very own demons, keeping tightly inside, while biting our lip and biting our tongues. We need to find peace within, before we can help the others, dear poet. Glad you enjoyed! Smiling back at you
