The Sadness

The Sadness

A Poem by Debbie_Philly 

The Sadness       
   

              Closing in like an eclipse on a sunny day

              bright with future remaining the figment

              of my imagination left with murky interpretation 


              Beauty is a fading blackness that surrounds

              empty spaces, walls closing, life imploding

              as does my view holding tight to every memory


              through the mind is a pin hole of light half

              filled with hope just enough to hold on to

              Run fast towards the opening before the dimming


             tell the stories write it all down before the 

             dark takes over ascending like a virus .....

             climb out of the dark emptiness stomping out

             the sadness.
