That light

That light

A Poem by Joseph S

The darkness rolls over but the light is not really gone

 

It will be back

 

This dark is long, long. It’s damn long

 

Deep in the back a creature creeps

 

Crawling towards me/you

 

Closer it creeps and you/I cringe

 

But that light

Never forget that light

It’s there if you don’t see it

That light

 

I’m drowning, overwhelmed and alone

 

I open my mouth and inhale that grief

 

I inhale that grief and swallow it up

 

I devour it like an animal slowly I drift

 

Moving down the river face down

 

But that light

Never forget that light

It’s there if you don’t see it

That light
