The Dark Water and the Bright Lights

The dark water lies in front of my being
while the rain and current sway it back and forth
The chilly airs seems to whisper bitter sorrows
as my body stays on the peacful grounds

The dark water is something I must past
it is something that all must go through
As it blocks our paths to the lighted cities
I begin to move towards the dark water
as it slowly creeps on to me

Finally the dark water has engulfed my being
while I push my way through its swaying waves
the sorrows within me become apparent for all to see
as I realize that I am utterly alone

Here there are no soft hands to say goodbye
only my fears apparent as day itself
yet within me lies an ever lasting light
my only guide to the always bright city

Author notes

I was looking at the water at night while standing near a dock and saw all these bright lights that seemed so far away...so I wrote this little divy...the point in case anyone decides to read this is that...we all must go through tough times where we feel alone, but we have to make it through to see the good times...well thats the main part of it

    Sorry I never commented on this, and other stuff. This was very awesome, loved the imagery, i guess my only critique would be Mr. Wallish, punctuation, lol. I really liked the ending though, there is a light within everyone, people just don't realize it. Well later man.
