The Darkness WILL come.....

Ae you struggling with the darkness,
at every twist and turn?
Are you faced with indecision,
unsure of what collision
you will come across today?
Are you unsure of the way?

Do not feel alone my friend in need,
for many of us go unseen,
you are not solitarily there you see,
for so many follow and that is the key,
to knowing you are not so vastly isolated,
instead quite dilated,
in the numerous others that tread that path too
but they may not show it to you.

Just remember when the darkness falls heavy, hard and fast
that there are those out there ready to catch
ready with a helping and loving hand,
and lift you to a higher land,
of where you feel surrounded by warmth from the heart
believe me with YOU this did not start.

Seek those who can understand and truly know,
the depths to which a soul can go,
and yet revive itself through faith,
knowing that each are in their proper place.
Regardless how askewed it all may seem,
darkness is nothing but where your inner light can gleam,
and reach the outer edges of the realm
where others often have fell,
extend your heart and hand
through that murky land,
and soon you will see,
you were never alone in even the darkest of seas,
but someone who cares,
or has simply been there,
awaiting guidance or a caring hand,
and there you are, there you stand...
among the darkness with your new found friend,
even though you may never meet again.
You've made a difference that will pull you through,
the darkness that often overcomes you.

I've seen the pit and walked the course,
Often I revisit it without knowing the source
of my immediate plunking upon the floor,
not knowing why I've reentered here for,
yet ever upward I must look and seek,
that friendly hand offered so meek,
but once entwined will become united.
Never forget that you do not walk alone,
that lampless path, that dark winding cone
that sent you spiraling down to the darkness where you thought you were alone.

(a GREAT friend sent me this quote that I feel goes perfectly with this poem I wrote: THANK YOU GOOD DOG!!
