Poem -
Dark Night of the Soul
Reality is a bitter pill
At timesΒ
When roused from melancholy
Shaken into bright, blazing truth
I cringe
The shadow is more me
Than the reflection in my mirror
I do not recognize her
Unshaped future holds more allure
Than the focus of present fading
Dreams conflict with hopes
Hopes depart for existence
But
I have not lost my true definition
I hold it in my heart
I unfold the seal placed there
An emblem from a hidden time
I live to fulfill the harder path
The one of sticking to road less taken
Being my authentic self is trying
When each day old beliefs were dying
But steadfast to the course am I
Set by a lost past
I will exist in light

Thank you for reading my stuff. it is quite nice for you to take a notice and to respond .. I know you are aware of how much that means.. I mean i wrote for my own enjoyment for many years. but I think poetry is a shared art. it needs the writer and the reader... to synch in some way it is a aha moment.Β
