Darkness..
By Tansy Peschel
Its murky gray cloud
Blocks my vision,
Obscures my goals,
Overwhelms me when I let it.
It chokes my dreams
And douses flames of desire.
I feel its claws
Grabbing at my feet-pulling me down.
It would be so easy,
To go quietly.
"No one cares, who would miss you,"
Echoes in my heart.
"I offer peace, tranquility.
Silence…freedom…
Drift along aimlessly,
Let me engulf you"
NO!
I fight back.
Must move forward.
I want color
And laughter.
To live
Feel
Love.
The fog has lifted
The sun still shines within me…
