Reaching for the wonderful
things in life that have
vanished into the darkness
Searching for what isn’t
there anymore -
Eyes shut tight-
Black on black
Falling in holes that echo
the words of loneliness
and terror
Blind is the direction-
Walk right into the dark
repetitive inadequacies
still reaching for the wonderful
things in life that have
vanished into the darkness-
Search for what isn’t there
anymore
accept defeat
Eyes shut tight
Black on black
best wishes, now open those eyes and see all that life has in store for you

no, no! Marilyn, never "accept defeat".. never give up. Try opening those eyes around 6 a.m., when the world is still quiet and anything is still possible. When it's darkest, light a candle and make yourself smile. It is a physical act that you can FEEL! This is a profound commentary of a human condition we can all understand... but which none needs to allow to overtake us. Great piece! katy xox (be well)
A good definition of crazy is when we repeat the same task again and again, expecting a different result......you should open your eyes for even in darkness there is enlightenment. I enjoyed your poem.
