The Harsh Light of Day

The harsh light of day The darkness surrounds you It engulfs you Paralyzed and broken, it drags you down Deeper into its pit Ascension, a fleeting dream Demons surround you Torturing your soul further into madness Escape, there is none Turning circles, spinning, you fall further still Who were you Where did you come from No memory, black, all that's left is void How can you get out Who can you turn to No one is there You are alone Completely alone Falling deeper into the abyss Retreating into your fear You scratch at walls hoping to dig free You bleed you cry you scream into silence Nothing Solitude, darkness penetrating, consuming That moment comes The wicked one is ready to bow Proud of his victory Pleased by your inevitable demise And then, alas Out of the darkness Something piercing, blinding Indiscernible Hope A beacon A voice saying you are not alone An end to the darkness... Salvation Tis the harsh light of day

Katrina, I would like to be one of the first to welcome you as a "Souper". Your free poetry form has an honesty to it that let's the reader know that you are writing from a very real place in your heart. It is so deep...so mesmerizingly strong with imagery and dark as nigh, but with a window of hope depicting the narrow Way. I Love it. CTB
