Within

Within

Within the stillness, faint echoes of sounds can be heard 
Late night hours, grappling with what is real and the absurd
Hearing indistinguishable voices, conversations overheard 
Perhaps just a past memory, lost subconsciously interred 

Within the darkness, where all your senses come alive 
Clashing with all your fears, deepest emotions revive
Blackness surrounding you, a light thumping arrives 
Awakening your heart, kindling your strength to survive 

Within the amber light, first light begins to appear 
Twilight upon you, your dreamscape interferes 
All memories of your dreams suddenly disappear 
Eyes adjusting to the light, mind becoming clear

Within that moment, both clarity and confusion begin
Your thoughts and emotions emerge to your chagrin 
Those questions and queries making your mind spin
All of these take you on your solemn journey within

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
