FADING TO BLACK......

Recommended Posts

Bess.   

FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE MISSING HOME...LIVING IN THESE FOREIGN LANDS....KNOWING THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME...KNOWING WE ARE HOMELESS CAUSE OF THE IGNORANCE OF A FEW MEN....THIS IS FOR U... [big Grin]

 

Fading to black,

 

Rising sun shining brightly;

memories re-visited, tumultuous time ticking-still.

Emotions begin to run high;

slowly comes the fade to black, the night within the day.

 

Fading to black,

 

spinning, dizzy, feeling fear,

so many, so many troubled and scared voices I hear;

as the black grows ever increasingly whirlingly near.

 

Fading to black,

 

it is the past launching an attack,

lay down, sit back.....

struggling to breathe in a lifetime of air, for which I now lack.

Are they trying to share?

Do they want again to hurt me, do they, yet again, dare?

Unsafe universe thrusting me into a grievous galaxy, to a lost somewhere...

 

Fading to black.

 

Deep inside it is dark, and everything echoes.

Thrown in to the pit of despair, trapped in the enemies throes.

Day in and day out, often this is how my life goes

as I try to walk the world in a way that prevents others from seeing my woes.

Deep inside it is dark, and everything echoes.

Having faded to black, trying to sustain my light

so deep, so hidden, so out of sight.

Wanting to once again lead,

we are held prisoner of the darkness against our might.

 

Fading to black,

 

In all of this darkness my soul does bleed.

Having faded to black, trying to sustain my light.

Writhing angst in the barrel of self, through to the core,

don't do it, stop it, I can't take it anymore!!

The dark not knowing what the light is for;

The light slowly winning this internal war,

Yet still any day, anytime, we can be made to fade still, more and more.

Writhing angst in the barrel of self, through to the core.

 

Fade to black, the bubble will burst,

 

Walking wounded, profusely sweating unbearable desert heat, so full of thirst,

Some inside were so, so cursed

Blazon black bulk brainlessly believing their worst.

Fire drill rehearsed and rehearsed...

 

Fade to black, the bubble does burst.
