The longer I sleep
The deeper I plunge
Into the abyss
Of darkness
There’s an obtrusive light
Along with a warming sensation
It’s reaching
Sending rays, showing glimmers of
Hope
Trying to pull me back
Don’t know which way to
Go
There’s darkness in the light
Tired of going back and
Forth
We are the same
Down
In the darkness
Here I will
Remain

Thank you. Yes Nicodemas, searching the changes for 2016. My life has taken a new direction the past few years. I still battle darkness, but it does not rule my life. 🙂

A beautiful piece about the pull of darkness and how it can consume us…i am happy there is back and fort, though, as we all need that light to reach towards….

Funny how sleep does that doesn’t it? Sometimes it seems like forever and then others it seem like too quick! I love this Ms Vee!
