Lighting the DarknessA Poem by Ron NewtonFor those in need of guidance, in need of a light to show you out of that dark place you have been trapped in for so long.Lighting the Darkness The fire burns the darkness from the serenity of my soul, the ashes slowly fading away, cleansing that which is me. My soul now reborn like a phoenix…, runs free, inspiring all to it’s grace. The flame nothing but a spark left in the bottoms of the soul mourns, the darkness ever returning closing in on the meek ember of the flame it used to be. Fear seethes deep within, My soul reaches out…, embracing the ember, kindling a dead flame…, the darkness corrupts the soul once again bringing feeling’s of crimson desire and forbidden nightmares. The soul long since lost in the ever darkness of itself weeps tears of broken sanity, longing for joy to leap back into it’s life. Slowly from the dark a light emerges, yet withered...it is bright a beacon to all who is lost, my soul…, hope reaches out to the glow, the faint light bursts from within incinerating all darkness from the soul, leaving nothing but itself and the soul in it’s wake. The flame a brilliant red grasps the hand reached out to it lifting it above the world of the darkened hell. The Fire dances with my soul, together in the light a radiant glow emerges from the two merging to become one then I realize the Flame is my soul…, The flame is me. © 2015 Ron Newton |
