Sombre Mines

The mines have taken my strength
	        taken my sight
                and   taken my breathe
Crawl to the light I cannot, thus my
Energy 
Nor will I see the light before I die
			 I am hopeless.

Sue Mason December 18, 2009 at 2:35 PM Is it the diamond mines you write of? Then again, I guess any kind of mining would fit this outstanding write. Thanks so much for your comment on my writing and if it hasn't already been said, Welcome to PoetrySoup Nasilele!!

Audrey Haick December 6, 2009 at 9:56 AM Sad piece John! I hope someday you will come to find that you are not without hope as long as you are alive! We all struggle with something but we try to carry out cross and hope in God to help us. Peace and love, Audrey
