INTO DARKNESS
I sat there on the icy bench
before the break of dawn.
There must of have been a hundred leaves
lay scattered on the lawn.
The moon hung silent in the sky
half obscured by a lonely cloud.
A lonely seagull flying by
shattered silence with his haunting cry so loud.
I looked up at the fading moon
light reflected the glistening frosted ground.
I snuggled deep inside my coat
and wrapped my scarf around.
An icy chill ran down my spine
As I pondered what was said.
An ominous, sinking feeling hit
with thoughts unraveling through my head.
So many things that don’t quite add
go swirling through my thoughts.
My heart is searching for the truth,
my stomach tied in knots.
I just do not know what to think,
I’m filled with so much doubt.
So many fears now overwhelm me,
what is this really all about?
Everything within me says
that something’s just not right
Like being plunged deep into darkness
struggling just to find the light.
My heart, like the silence now is shattered
like the seagulls haunting cry.
My thoughts like those leaves, lay scattered
Is my heart telling me a lie?
It seems as though all of nature
screams out what a fool I’ve been.
Can I trust this heart of mine?
Or has it fooled me once again? ©
