Alone I walked through endless night

And empty thought.....I roamed

Toward nothing.

 

Soundless pain by my side

Cruel companion silently guiding

To nowhere.

 

Falling slowly into the void

Round and round, downward dove

Into emptiness

 

Giving in to the endless night

Walking toward endless death

Unwilling to fight

 

Until

 

A small sound, like a bell

Called me back from hell

To hope

 

A hand pulling me up

Words drawing me back

To live

Reviews

[Norma M Sutton]

I like it. The one and two word last lines are a nice touch.

[Lilly Negoi]

this made me think a bit about that famous line "into the valley of death"...it certainly sounded that way, if you think of lines like:
"Toward nothing."
"To nowhere."
"Falling slowly into the void"
"Into emptiness"
and so on...blessed the bell that broke such bleak imagery...
