In to darkness
The world sways
sometimes we stumble
our knees buckle
sometimes we fall
what if I can't rise one more time
what if the darkness sometimes wins
the light shines bright beside me, but
the shadow engulfs me within
at times I have held onto your wing
and you not only raise up
you take me higher than I have been
the air is shallow and breath is slow
but eventually we return foot to soil
and mouth to words, but
here I fall again
My thoughts talk to me like a once crowded room
where no one longer lives
My memories whisper to me in pictures with a mute voice
every color a word, every shape a phrase that reminds me
yesterdays are sweet, but only fading dreams
today is slowly becoming just a memory
tommorow is an open book
empty page after empty page, but
my ink well is not dry
