Inevitable

Inevitable.
Falling upon
Leaving only
Darkness

Wait.
Look
Do you
See it?

There
In the distance.
That glimmer
On the horizon.

The first ray
Breaking through
Chasing darkness
Striking out

Turn towards it
Tip your face upward
Feel the power
Let it transport you

Absorb the warmth
Carry it with you
For combat when falls
Darkness.

It only takes the smallest glimmer of hope...it is all we need to build upon.

[Shannon]

Thank you. I wish it were so simple. But as you said, it's a place to start.

reminds me of a time
during a depression
... sometimes even when we can't see it
we must Remember The Light

[Shannon]

Well, yes. You always get them. ☺️

[jacob erin-cilberto]

there is that sun within us, but often we hide it when life goes sour---we need to look towards it now...especially here in the states when things are looking so shadowy---on many levels.

like this one and related to it well.

[Shannon]

Sometimes we need to remember the the simple things thst seem so obvious.

Beautiful poem I love to read stuff like this all the time, where the words just come so easy. Overall it is a beautiful poem and I encourage you to continue writing many more. I have found that writing poems is very helpful to making yourself understand how you really feel.

[Shannon]

Thank you. I am glad that this one had some meaning to you.

[Inject Positivity]

The picture you have attached with it really helps to understand the meaning of the poem. That glimmer of hope is all we need, one small bit of light and it can really change the life of a person. But one has to stay in the game until the light cokes out, that beautiful light of dawn. One of your most true and understanding write Shannon. Beautiful!

[Shannon]
