The darkness of the night consumes me
Like the whisper of fear in my ear
Breathing thoughts I do not wish
To hear.
Darkness surrounds me
Like the light going
Out of day
And the black that steals our glory.
Darkness is evident
But shall not prevail.
One lit candle
Ever flaming
But has to spread.
Spread
Like wild bush fire
Adding but one beam at a time.
The darkness is fierce
But the light is brighter.
Light one flame,
Allow the wind to
Apply this flame to the dark
Part of life.
Live life like
Flames flowing fiery
Within wind.

I think you did a really nice job with this write, myself. You had some nice thoughts and imagery in here that brushes a lot of senses within me. It's clear and it's also positive. It's easy to get consumed in the darkness if you're not careful, but what you displayed within your words here is something we all must take to heart. Very nice job.

Such a wonderful message, especially since the darkness and light can hold different meanings depending on the reader. It just gives the poem a broad range of inspiration. I especially enjoyed the alliteration and imagery at the end.

Oh I think this is very very well done. Your images are so strong and fierce (and I don't mean that in a bad way)-- they really stand out in your poem. There are many meanings which could come out of this poem. The one that stood out for me is that darkness can consume a life but it's better for that one flame of hope to grow and take over-- i hope that makes sense.
