Darkness

Old friend

gift of hope

pain's end

terminal length of rope

Welcome dark visitor

gifting less hurt than life

to breath's addiction no prisoner

erase all strife

deep sleep

face the west

do not weep

bodies rest

Candle burned

fire's redemption

dark corner turned

new dimension

The dark visitor comes to taken the pain away and lead the friend into the next plane of existence. No more trials or tribulations to suffer.
Heaven awaits its newest resident.

I love the wording and the peace that fills this poem as death approaches.

Where there is darkness there is always light waiting in the wings. One cannot outlast the other if the gift of hope is intact. Sleeping on it used to be a way to fix things but, not so much anymore. The darkness will pass if the light within us shines outwardly. Light always overcomes darkness. Nice one my friend. Definitely creates thought.

So true Will change is constant and as in Tarot cards death represents change as does light following dark. Change represents hope as you note and hope is the last thing to die, Thank you for the review and your insightful response.

Let there be light. May all the dark corners be turned so history does not repeat itself. Looking for peace and tolerance everywhere.

Leave it to you Chris to see the deeper side of this piece. Most people have taken it as referring to personal death but know death is nothing more than change and putting to death the pain and wrongs of this world is the alternate meaning to this piece. Thank you so much for looking under the skin.

[Chris Shaw]

And thank you for saying so. I appreciate that Soren.
