Life.

I wrote this poem while listening to The Keeper by Chris Cornell. Now, I am not sure if the message of my poem parallels his, but I hope this poem either extends or breathes new meaning.

ACT I

Alone in the dark

a fire, a spark

gathers my fear, I feel it fleeting.

I shine once more

what I am for,

my soul, my being.

ACT II

On a ground unknown,

where my feet and hands are blown

by a  cold wind and an unfamiliar singing.

Hope and struggle collide

to find a place to reside

and they help me find the living.

EPILOGUE

As I stand amongst the fray,

I kneel and pray

that the Almighty one will let me stay.

Author's Note
