Into the darkness

Something was pulling me back
yet i went on
didn't know where i was going
still drawn on.

Into the darkness
feeling my way
grasping at straws
come what may.

I knew you needed me
drawn to me
you let me go
why?

Tugged at my heart strings
pulling me back
now is the time
for me to go.

Rebuild my own life
with you i have none
Trepidation
anticipation

Follow what may
I will be free
to go my own way
alone.

I felt a real sense of tug-of-war in this poem and yet the essence remained steadfast and resolute. Always such a hard decision to go it alone but a very courageous one. This strongly resonates with me.
I liked it alot.

The poem is a reminder that to turn darkness into light, whatever, wherever in life, all it often takes is a decision; the power of the One and self-belief.

Another fragment of the complex web of love/life. Reminded me of Fearless' 'Darkness Into Dawn', without the dawn bit.

As always Al, conveyed with feeling and precision.

Isn't guilt a terrible thing, you know what you should do, but something always holds you back - that's guilt. Nicely expressed.
