Awakenings

One poem featured in another international poetry anthology in the USA

A cast-away soul in his solitary moment,

Floating into a never-ending circle of uncertainty

In denial of all things hitting him in the eye

Or could it be that he just can’t dare to face dire reality?

A deep-seated fear sets in rooted from the world’s cruelty.

 

Shielding himself from dark forces,

But wake-up calls are beyond his control

He wants to awaken from this abstract dream

Mysterious vibrations preventing him to even scream

Delusions overwhelming him in every heart beat.

 

A spectrum of enveloped ideas only his mind can conceive,

Out of this swirling darkness he awakened from being naïve

Bid adieu to his grueling nightmare

Awaiting for the dawning of a new day

To see the light welcoming him again.

i truly love the positive ending of this piece. Sometimes we isolate ourselves because of fear of the unknown. we build walls around us because we cannot trust people and we doubt their intentions.
