Slices Of Light



I think of my yesterdays
Remembering specific feelings
Standing in the dark
Wondering if I would see or feel the light

Suddenly, I feel the light before I see it
My insides are bursting with happiness
Everything seems clear
All the questions I had, finally answered

I feel safe standing in the light with you
Nothing is jumbled, it's bright
Brighter than I have ever seen or felt
I'm not afraid

Then the dark is back
Maybe the light was never real
Only in my imagination
I lay curled in my bed

Trying to sleep
The feelings all still three
Never going away
They were real, the light was real

Today I sometimes wish it was a dream
I could dismiss it all
Remembering slices of light
Only remind me I am back in the dark


I cherish my past, I accept my present and I dream for my future

  6. Thank you Petronela... I used to write poetry all the time, when I was in my early 20's, then I was very hard on myself and stopped... I just started writing it again this year... thank you for your sweet comment :)

I love and appreciate all genuine comments, to save a little time, I won't be commenting on the comments on my blog (unless you don't have a blog), I will just visit your blog and comment there, if you have left a meaningful comment for me... I would much rather spend the time reading and commenting on a few extra blogs ❤
