Darkness

by Whip   Aug 25, 2008


Waking up to darkness
Not sleeping anymore
Can't find any light
Searching for the door
It's a soft, warm place
It feels like a cloud
Then suddenly I can feel myself continuing going down
I can't move at all, or even hardy breath
Hearing the sound of dirt start to cover me
My silent screams go completely unheard
It seems life was hurried
No real way to slow it down
Just so I could be buried, Six feet underground
So as the grass grows
The flowers of grief are placed
From where I am now, my soul has been misplaced
Living in this darkness, dying at slow pace
The choice I have made is mine and mine alone
Just like my life, I died and died alone.

    This poet has seemingly mastered the ability (not even the "best" can acomplish it :) ) to allow the receiver of the poem to feel like the author is speaking to them intimately, not allowing the reader to feel like a third party/voyuer! It feels "real" and I truly enjoyed the, I what believe, is a nifty "twist"
    and from whence the point of view comes from in it.
