Lost and Found

October 16, 2012

What's that darkness that holds you still? can you feel it? It's so clear you shiver as if that nightmare can be so real That light so bright calls your name Yet darkness has you with a strain your named is shouted you look confused Then an angel comes to you He look at you and tells you why you feel that pain and start to cry you cant believe your still alive the angel takes you up so high And all thats darkness says goodbye you feel so happy, so secure you thank the lord for your soul

Thank you for the comment. i really enjoy writting poems and the fact that poeple like you like it gives me hope. In the poem when it says " your name is shouted you look confuesd" i mean by that there is a light or someone trying to help you. which is not darkness because you are all ready in it. therefore, i thank you for the comment and the time.

I really enjoy the force in this poem. many poems about heavenly ascension have a neutral feel, almost as if heaven is a reward for good deeds done. This poem, however, presents it as an escape from a nightmarish darkness. What intrigued me was the notion of the narrator's name being shouted out--though it isn't said by who: darkness trying to claim a soul, or light encouraging a soul upward? regardless, it retains a strong sense of force and a bit of desperation. I like it.
