Lost Soul

I stumble in the darkness of your empty world

Observing as you weave your web of sadness

Watching you as you hopelessly hide

In the prairies, known for solitude


 

I am wondering whatever happened

To that man who had hopes and dreams

That man who found a ray of light

Amid even the darkest and most raging storms

 

I stagger, trying to see into the shadowed corners

Of your evasive consciousness, trying to understand

Disrobing the thoughts, you have clothed in black

As you dwell in the abyss of lost hope

 

I move my life into the light, praying that you will see

The beauty and hope that we once shared

Before life played it’s dirty tricks on our dreams

And faded to black all that we knew as sacred

 

Once your words opened the doors to the world

Your smile did awaken me from my darkest of moments

It was you who gave me hope and showed me the light

As we hid our dreams in a golden box for safe keeping

 

Now, I live from that box of golden dreams

Trying to bring back the rainbow light of our love

Searching for strength to pull you from your darkened corners

I find my center and my will, as I am reading your poetry

This poem is massive in scope, but not as wonderful and loving as your big, beautiful heart. You show a 'knowing' few of us arrive at. I read your words as if you were speaking them to me. Do you sacrifice living to wait and hope and wait and hope and wait and hope. Is he worth waiting for? Hugs Bill

This says that we must willingly, although often uncomfortably, become beacons in the fog to guide a lost captain's life-ship safely to shore.
The hard part is making certain our beam never goes out. Hence, we encourage one another. And if we disagree on something, it's all a part of our fabric that we create for ourselves. But we can still encourage each other.

blessin's, very nice verses,

One of your best I think Sherry. This is a beautifully written, emotive response to the challenge. I've not been reading and writing for a little while so I must catch up.
