Light like wisdom shall lead the way,
Inhaling the darkness, whispering do not stay.
Streaks of a simple shade of grey,
Softly pleading for the black to go away.
When nothing filled me, I clung to pride.
My exterior looked strong while I crumbled inside.
This past year has been one long and soul crushing ride.
My heart ravaged and jaded feelings looking for someplace to hide.
Must black be so invasive?
All consuming and too pervasive.
Apathy unleashed has kept me restrained.
Numbness, my friend kept me contained.
Fornicating with the shade started feeling like sin.
For those who embrace darkness shall never win.
It's been cold and lonely where I have been.
I revel now in the warmth that dances upon my skin.
Dwelling in darkness gave my quite a fright,
In my heart I have no doubt I am a CHILD OF LIGHT.

This composition shows the reminiscences of a mind that heard
the inner call of the "I" when a "CHILD OF LIGHT" was born.
"CHILD OF LIGHT" is a poetic FLOWER scented by aroma of awareness.
I salute You, Poet!

I grewup in a family of Lutherans they were strick through many challenges and defeats i ran like this during teens till early thirties. Then it was not enough and so much darkness some how I was stopped and Met the lord once more he too calls us children of the light. It is much nicer in the light of things. A very positive and well expressed poem and witness. Ty for sharing the inspiring poetry.
Happy New Year!
