The Light in the Dark

The Light in the Dark

A Poem by Austin Dykes
"

There may be someone in mind for this one... lol

"
In the dark, cold, winter forest
I wander through the trees.
An aroma reaches my nostrils
as it's carried by the breeze.

I trudge through the dense snow
following that familiar smell.
Somehow reaching the source
will make it all well.

Light and smoke are ahead of me
as I climb the steepest hill.
The closer to the summit I proceed
the more I'm released from the chill.

I reach the top of the hill
and I'm surprised at what I see.
A blazing campfire in the center
and an angel looking up at me.

The blaze lit up her eyes
like diamonds in the dark.
Her whisper enters my ears
and ignites my heart with a spark.

As I sit by the fire
my troubles are washed away.
As I gaze upon her
I know she's where I must stay.

About
I love poetry and music, two of my strongest passions. I've written many poems as well as stories in my life. Most of my poems usually have the same structure just because it's easiest for me to write.. more..
