Though the darkness burns
The light still yearns
With bittersweet remorse
Though the years may turn
One needs to learn
That things must run their course.

I know that for the contest I could have used 100. It was my intention to use as few words as possible to show the hopelessness of the situation. You see, unlike other poems that are used to 'vent' this one is not about a broken relationship, or a broken underachieved goal, but rather a broken spirit, a broken soul and yet the hope that over time, it will mend into something better and greater then that it once was.

Though this is very good, this is more of an uplifting piece. Where’s the rage and anger and venting? Thanks so much for taking the time to enter and for writing for me. It’s an honor to read your work!
