The Dark Destroyer

The Dark Destroyer

Part I
The void arrives
Sucks you in and down
Into the nothingness
Only darkness breathes
Life out of focus
It seems all is lost
Panic stricken, then
Realisation hits
Aware that it’s here
The Dark Destroyer!
The void door closes
No strength to fight
You succumb, averse
No one understands
It’s a lonely battle
Inside your own head
Trapped, Defeated
 
Part II
Defeated – not dead!
Many a battle
Still to overcome
Take action, right now!
Shout loud, ‘they’ will hear
The void door re-opens
Join forces, unite
With ‘they’ who can help
‘They’ will stand by you
Guide you, comfort you
Give positive light.
It’s a classic duel
Of light verses dark
Who wins in the end?
It’s you who decides!

God be with you, my friend..... Robert. Laura Hay February 7, 2017 at 8:44 AM I am glad you enjoyed this Robert. I appreciate you stopping to read this. Warm regards, Laura.

Kp Nunez June 24, 2015 at 7:32 AM An intelligent, deeply perceptive write, dear Laura. May you always remain in the light and emerge victorious from all the life battles still to be fought. A 7. hugs! Laura Hay June 24, 2015 at 10:47 AM Many thanks for taking the time to drop by and for the positive comments too Kim, much appreciated, warm rgds, Laura.

Robert Lindley June 18, 2015 at 6:26 PM I rate this very expressive write a very solid 7. From Darkness into the Light is a great feat and one some fail to ever make. Defeat does not win if we step into the Light(God's) for there it can not exist. Laura Hay June 19, 2015 at 1:04 AM Thank you for your kind comments and for taking the time to stop by and read my poem, kind Rgds, Laura

Paul Callus June 11, 2015 at 4:55 PM I give a 7rating to this expressive poem, Laura. Like how you move on from the darkness of defeat to the light of positivity. Defeated, but not dead...hope can be the saving factor. Well done. // paul Laura Hay June 12, 2015 at 5:14 AM Thank you very much Paul, always appreciate your time and encouragement! I like to write finishing on a positive - it is postitive thinking that has and still gets me through the chaos of my mind and life in general. Kind Rgds, Laura
