I wrote this poem last week when I took a break from the Soup..

Missy Nikko says I was in a dark frame of mind.

Was not sure if I wanted to post it.. Figured.. why not??

"life can be warped into new beginnings, when you least expect it" somber and dark the mood embracing the abyss of his thoughts twisted images of reality engrossed in truth lurking beyond the light afraid – reality seems too dark maybe the light is the other way too far to turn back no crossroads in sight "stick with what you know" the voice said what if I don't know anything? where to now? lurking beyond the light afraid always afraid everything so twisted emotions, life, even his heart... twisted images of reality engrossed in truth Contest Name: A Poem, Please By: Wilma N. Neels 100820111135

Don't hate me Missy, I saw the notification in my email but I am basically in stealth mode tonight, will come out of hiding tomorrow over there-- yuppo.... I am certified weird! But I had to comment at least somewhere! You sure made me smile when I saw that, even more so when I re-read this gem-- it is timeless-- even 3 years, seems still to be very relatable but hmm hopefully you not in a dark mood anymore? Me still loving this, thank you for the tag :) Still loving the twisted images line <3

I think most of us are unsure in these trying times. We just have to leanon God and ask for His wisdom to guide us. Great job here. God Bless, JB

Wilma-the character you write of seems like many of us as we struggle to know which paths in life to take. I like how you gave the voice inside him a separate identity. Smooth write! Gwendolen

unique free verse, Wilma and to use your word, engrossed into the character .... I think it a reality write that can touch most people in the sensitive spot. Very well done my friend, now quit messin around and get back to work ...you're having entirely too much fun!

Ah! and she posts it at last! Great to know that you finally did! Your 2nd stanza here totally rocks, how "twisted images of reality" are "engrossed in truth"-- this side of you definitely shines (heehee) you sure expressed the fear & doubt here well--very thought provoking, makes my mind bend a bit, (which is good) and I sure could relate to this at some level-- so happy to see this posted, Missy! & haha you know why I had to say that whew-- that literally took me hours! aack. mwahugs
