    Fleeting Breath of Life

    The candle lit-
    illumination fleets
    upon the walkway;
    this fear deters
    all logical thought:
    I am blind,
    I cannot see.
    Voice plaintively pleads,
    "Will you release me today-
    absolve my grief?
    My spirit is worn,
    how lonely I feel,
    with miles ahead
    and darkness behind;
    my steps are uneven,
    in unison of my heartbeats-
    it is time to fly.
    Wings unfold,
    metaphysically perfect.
    Raised in gratitude
    to light of moon:
    blessed are thee
    my secluded brother.
    Lift me up
    to fly from earth,
    never to touch
    her cushioned ground.
    This bitter rage
    steals my soul;
    I will not give into this hate.
    Wings carry me
    far from this darkness-
    abscess of my mind.
    I will not hold back
    nor debase
    the facts of troubled circumstance.
    Be this temporary
    or eternity;
    my heart's untroubled,
    I fall into life's embrace;
    peace be mine
    for perhaps another day.

    Lovely write! It's very difficult to read with that particular font and size, but I was able to get through it. Beautiful and full of hope!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
