"Night Walker"

            ' Night Walker'


Walking the streets where sleep is free,
All is black, even the soul inside of me.
Wandering alone, no cares and no goals,
No hope left for a black heart with no soul.

Walking at night, finding sleep in the day,
A constant vigil to hold the terrors at bay.
Meeting the eyes of each person one greets,
The darkest of sins walk down these streets.

Walking away, old thought of olden times,
Before drugs and the bottle, when hope was mine.
Wandering alone, all love lost so long ago;
All feelings blanketed under deep falling snow.

Feeling the fear...as you walk and you meet,
God's castaways..in the rain and the sleet.
Forget about home, family is gone forever more,
All lost and cast away, life walked out a slamming door.

Walking the streets, never having a hope or a dream,
All was lost but death...but it is closer than it seems.

A sad tale, but the only castaways God has are those the walked out on his offer of help. When alone and the darkness falls on us the darkness surrounds and embraces us. We must recognize this dark place and escape back to the light. Very well crafted piece of work.

God should never give up on those he casts out

We walk closer and closer each day passes our way by relief will come when our days are done and we are reunited with the ones we love who are waiting for us at eternity door.

I really enjoyed reading your poem. "God's castaways." Liked your description of the night walker's life and her imminent death coming for sinful ways. Well written. Keep writing.

nicely done work on the impact that life has on those broken and lost, but not forgotten..i pass such ones on the street much too often, but there is hope for the hopeless...for those that desire to truly escape the darkness of their world. thank you for sharing.
