ShySoul Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Reaching out to touch the light Almost there, a little more My fingers grasp, but can not hold The light is gone, again Here I am in a dark cavern known as life. All my life I've waited Yearned for a way to be free To escape the chains that confine me To unleash the passion that resides in my heart The love, hope, joy... To show the strength in us all. To build the future. But alas, it is not to be. The chains still bound The bars still hold me in The more I try to escape, The more they resist, hold me down. Is there a point? Is this all there is? Is life meaningless? Are we just here? Are we just bodies wandering, Stumbling in a maze that has no exit? Is our only option surrender? Surrender to the fate our lives hold? Surrender to those who control us? Surrender to the night? Surrender to a world of darkness? Times are tough, my heart is empty. I've given up. There is no more hope for the future. Trust is gone, lies and deceit remain. Love has turned to hate. I understand I am alone, the world cares nothing for me. I've accepted my world of darkness. Then it happened! The bars lifted, the chains broke My passion was set free. A dream come to life. All is right again. Now I see beauty in all there is. Light has filled a world of darkness. I smile just to smile Laugh because it feels good Love for all pours from my heart There is hope for the future, hope for us all There is a point to life There is meaning All there is, is more then we imagine. I see it all now, Sense you came into my life. Can't you see? You saved me from a world of darkness. You are.... my light. Link to comment

Ålter Ego Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Both parts are well written. I like them both. Great job. Link to comment
ShySoul Posted January 19, 2006 Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks alter. Your sig though, makes no sense. Why feed my butt something? Wouldn't that just be messy and putting things in the wrong way? (And if that grosses anyone out, I am sorry.) Link to comment
volution Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I like these themed poems.. I used to write ones like it myself - I did a whole series on 'The Good Man' - always he seemed to be usurped by the 'Bad Man'... Back in my crazy days... Link to comment
hosswhispra Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 ShySoul- I swear I think we're on the same page in this book of life. hosswhispra Link to comment
ShySoul Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 volution - The whole light in the darkness theme is my theme in life. Most of my stuff follows the same pattern... dispare at first but ends with hope. Was going to do a third in the series, think I might have to write it soon. hosswhispra - With how lonely life can seem, its nice to know we have company and people out there who are on the same page. Thanks everyone. Link to comment
