My ''Dark'' Journey

my Journey- coming is bleak darkening blackness- but erstwhile I hold onto the light fleeting and passing starless gloomy and black anddarknesswillcome there are days even now obscure days of shadows dreadful scary oh for a world bright-wonderful my eyes will one day close forever in blindness gloomy and black I must memorize all the beauty all the faces I love from sunrise to sunset and the flowers treesandfallleaves and the blue sky and clouds all the things we take for granted all the shadesoftheforest all the tones of rivers and streams I fear the nighttime most of all gloomy and black my steps unsure dreadful the shadows lurking I never go out alone at night anymore I recall that day telling my boyfriend Henri he was quiet said little next day gone- I was and I am a girl with Tumbling-hair a picker of wildflowers pretty weeds and big red garden roses through my veil of twilight- with eyes so sorry and sad I am waiting for my forever night to fall- ____________________ September 15, 2017 Free Verse/My "Dark" Journey Copyright Protected, ID 939981
