Life's Lights

These things I once could see
Now known as mere memories
Locked within a wishful grasp
Beats fading from a clutchful clasp

Crystal drops that quick replace
Smiles once upon the face
Fogged visions of saddened desolation
Solitude in mind's contemplation

Barren of all hope, now lost
Void of feeling at all cost
Complacently numb from head to toe
An abyss of dark, no room to grow

Once up high, now falling down
In desperation's sea to drown
Plead, my soul, to win this fight
And once again, find life's light

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    Why is this so familiar with me? Why do I feel as if I should know what is going on, but I cn't piece it together. This is truly heartbreaking, StormGoddess. I truly hope that whatever dark period you are currently struggling through, that the ray of sunshine will break through and light your path.

      There is more than one meaning to this Cris, and deep inside you know what this is about much more than you probably remember right at the moment. Thank you for your words and support hun.

    Superb write!

    You did a great job with your emotions in this piece. It was so easy to understand and although it was very sad, you wrote one wonderful poem my friend. I'm sure it will help others who are going through tough times as you. My wish for you is that the light will come into your life and blast out every speck of darkness. GBY

      Tes my dear,

      Thank you so much for your warm words. To have faced many issues within myself in the past is one thing. But when time comes to face the battles that you truly know (and even to an extent, fear.) makes it much harder. I have always been a fighter, but it's getting hard and tiresome.

      I have gone back and forth trying to decide if I should post it or not. The battle is that with my life, literally. And I don't know where this path of the journey is going to take me. Nor am I sure I want to know. Each day that I wake, still able to see and get out of bed on my own, I am more thankful that I could express to anyone in any way. What else is left but to take one day at a time, and hope for the best.

      Sorry for the run on of rambles and story. Thank you for your kind heart and words.

      Hugs
      Storm

      Thank you John, much appreciate your words. Just a battle going on in and with my life right now that I am not sure that light will be there in the end. Only time will tell.

        Well I hope all goes well with your life, and I am sure the light will be there, as you carry it within your heart.

        For as the goddess of the storm
        You light the skies at night

        With the flashing of your bolts
        We all here your light

        Winds blows hard when you command
        Rain in torrents fall

        Still The goddess lives in Love
        And shares it with us all

      Thank you Jeannie. I am sorry you feel so bad right now, but I understand, and I know you get it. This is, though, so much more than what people are really seeing. It's a battle I am not sure I am going to win...Ever!

    And find life's light - I hope you do
    The abyss of darkness and solitude
    No place for a girl like you
    Flap your wings - Aim for the sky.

    May the moon's rays wrap around you
    A comforting hug filled with joy - from above
    Helping to search out your internal Peace Dove
    you can do it - Just give it a try.


    (I really didn't know what else to say)..
    Nice write but very sad ...

      Thanks you Jeffro. I know that there is a few ways this could be taken, and though they all become fitting at some point in my life, I am sure most dont realize exactly the depth of this piece for me. But I appreciate the kind words and support.

    Sad and beautiful

    Storm, this is a nice write, full of feeling and sadness. A good simple rhyme that keeps you involved in the read.
    I know you'll take your wings again and see the light clearly, sometimes its a struggle but you are not alone. My best wishes reach out to you.

      Thank you Adrian. I guess after time in the hospital and out of commission so to speak, I had lots of time to dwell on the shitty aspects again. But I appreciate your confidence and hugs.

        'Tis not the winning but the willingness to fight
        'Tis not for darkness but the drawing of the light
        'Tis not for soldiers but to hold their ground
        To keep the balance as the cycle turns around

        For 'though the fight is never won
        it is never truly lost
        To keep the shadows on the run
        Only cowards count the cost

        I have seen you face these demons many times since I came here Storm, for yourself and for others. I know you may be feeling a bit shaky but you are not alone at the wall and I have met few who could match their bravery with you.
        Sometimes it seems it overwhelms but patience and planning pay out, even if its not much of either

        You know I normally take these sorts of things out of the comments box and post it privately to you but with the new AP I'm not too sure about the message/comments system so I'm keeping them where I write them, hope you don't mind.
