Darkness
An unmoving cloud that cannot be swept away,
The night sky with no stars or moon to guide you,
No light to show you, no face you see that can lead you.
Darkness
That black that fills and never moves,
The evil that fills your mind,
No colors to look at, nothing to see.
Darkness
The sound
Of the voice
From the mouth
On the face
That you cannot see.
Darkness
No one can rescue you from this dreadful villain,
No Knight in Shining Armor to save the day,
Abandoned in a world no one else can reach.
Darkness
All alone in a corner that you cannot leave,
The smells, the sounds, the feelings,
But what of the pictures that you cannot see?
Darkness
The sound
Of the voice
From the mouth
On the face
That you cannot see.
Darkness
You are deserted in a place you do not know,
No danger can make you flinch,
For you know not what lies ahead.
Darkness
Who will help you in the right direction?
Will you be all right, so lonely in that forgotten place?
I will help, I will guide, and I will be there for you.
Light
The voice at the end of the tunnel,
Hope flowing to you
Like a forgotten stream,
Warmth coming over
In the hand of a stranger.
Author notes
God brought me from a hard place, I tried to convey how it felt to been shown his love. It is a wonderful thing.

yeah, i can feel your pain
i really like poems like this one that like changes, and you did it ever so well *claps*
i like the 6th stanza the most
i dont dislike any of it
thanks for entering my contest -
I like the repeating of "darkness" and then the sudden change to "light" at the end. This poem gives a certain tone and feel from it that is illusive and imaginative. Nice work. Thanks for entering.
