dark
, dark ~ black
i let it embrace me
in this empty space the absence of color
a void without light
no longer with fear
portentous
disappears
thoughts scramble, jumbled
breath is shallow, quiet
heart beat slow
tears appear and flow
days bygones
loves lost to the absence of life
and so i sit here
wondering why the past came so quickly
soon my tomorrows will disappear
is there light
or
dark dark
where i will
be ?
sad but i liked it, too.
ReplyDeleteThere will be light, my friend, and Mamasita will be there. This year, more than any other, I have reflected on those missing, how fast the years go, and that one of these Christmases I will be missing too. Sigh. It goes so fast.
ReplyDeleteI felt like this touched base on the theme of life after death a little bit because of the hard contrasting words between "light" and "dark." Of course this could be left to further interpretation, but this was an excellent portrayal of that theme. Great work! :)
