Light

Subtle is the light
That runs through time
Shadows in the night
I think I've lost my mind
Crazy as it may be
I want to go to the other side
If not for pride
I'd sink and hide
Why not try
To live another day.

Author's Note

With everything happening around the world I wonder what's on the other side.

Very dark times just now. Putin is a madman, pushing the world to the brink of a great showdown. The Western world needs to stick together and impose tight sanctions against Russia and Belarus. But we need to tread carefully. And, of course, other dark shadows hang over the world right now. Depressing times, but hopefully things can only get better!

I too wonder and try to live another day. Very timely, sobering and encouraging. Thanks for sharing your poem with us.

When some people talk about hell, I think it has to be here on earth. There aren't just shadows here, there is blackout. I search for my own light. I find it in the natural environment. As to the other side, I can't help thinking it could be more of the same. I try not to think about it. No one comes back, so we just don't know. A thought provoking little write Mauricio. Have a happy Saturday.
