The Dream's Frightened

Steps trending down, creaking and groaning

The weight of a thousand thoughts upon the mind

Fears, hopes, joys and happiness a cacophony of birds and singing

Their tunes and tones a myriad of emotions swirling

Hanging on, hang on. The banister worn, it dusty finger prints memories

Of times chaotic passing gate

Accepting, acceptance, others fears upon beyond neglected reasoning

Heart, hurting, holding on, trying, testing, must try, do or die inside

Thoughts, thinking, mind a fiery flux

Confusion, uncertainty taken, understood and engraved upon every fiber

Weak, strong, knees buckling, moving forward, opposing and engrossing

Down upon the bottom floor, board squeaking their protest

Prayers, praying, pray to any and all.

Lord, give the light and give the heart and strength to coalesce reason

So far away, Oh so far, wishing, hoping and praying

What’s best, what’s right, left, up and down, visions solid and transparent

Never give up, don’t give up the light.

Precious shine upon sad eyes, scared eyes glistening

Fearing, no fear, mustn’t give up, to far in now, now is reality

Wishing, hoping and praying for a fix, repair, tape upon torn sheets

Will there ever be peace?

Where’s the answer?

What’s the light that needs to shine brightest?

To understand what’s inside…

You tapped into every emotion we all experience, some of them all at the same moment. The way you define each is captivating. We never know how bright our inner light is till it's tested. Some days not so, and others more. But the will of this poem in the interpretation is just stunning. Well done. :)
