Through Deep Darkness Unable To Steer

It was deep dark, silence roaming outside if I couldn't see and hear, it is myself to chide the urge within pushed my fright aside time to open the gates of my soul wide. My journeys I used to have on my own seeking sheer thrill in my serene zone for what I painfully miss, I strive to atone thriving when every ounce in me is full and grown. The lure of a wonder seized my powers breaking through my walls and towers an ocean unearthing my grain and flowers weeding out what is in my soil ugly and sour. What reached my soul was so profound, so austere it is beyond my feel, something I awe and fear the mysteries in books were to me so clear and in life, through deep darkness unable to steer. To raw Nature I carried my tribulation along with a torturing silence and lamentation seeking spiritual guidance and revelation Almighty God, help me not to succumb to temptation! And here I am, with my words touching my solid earth carving a clear voice of woe and mirth aspiring to feed an inner sense of worth as an avid reader accords my poetry a rebirth.

There's a lot about this poem I really like, Besma! The creative title, the personification of silence in "silence roaming outside" and the choice of words, particularly in the 5th stanza. This is an impressively eloquent write.
