Poem Commentary

This is my epic master piece. A poem revolving around the child of light and how through the seven days of armageddon he finds the answer, of how to find his way through the eternal darkness of the night.

Lost In The Darkness

Premise

If you are lost in the darkness,
Do not have feet to walk,
Eyes to see,
Not light to find your direction,
Then how do you find your way???

---------------------------------------------------------

Act I
Prelude to The Darkness

Once upon a midnight dreary,
My heart lied wretched weary,
In the evil of the night,
I saw the terror and the fright.

Glancing upon the fiery sky,
Wondering in heaven if the angels sigh,
Wondering if my life’s a lie.

But nobody answers,
Nobody cries.

Devil’s day is coming near,
Torment and terror gouge my ear,
And my lonely heart shivers in fear…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Act II
Armageddon

Day I

The first day of the newly born dawn,
All our lives become a pawn,
In the war of heaven and hell,
So the Devil’s spirits fell,
From all corners,
From all cracks,
So the bodies filled the sacs.

And so on the first day pools of blood shall be spilt,
And a new hell on earth shall be built.

Creepy creatures roaming our terrace,
And so I ask you God how shall we bare this,
But still no answer,
But still no fight,
Not even a glimmer of light.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day II

Hence the second day becomes a night,
Eternal damnation of the children of light.

All is destroyed in a land of peace,
Once guided by God’s fleece.

Demons are killing,
Ghosts are haunting,
And even the Devil himself joins the game,
Hovering in his betroven name.

Lucifer whispers in my ears,
But in my heart he finds no fears,
And so I turn to face the Devil,
But realize that I cannot lower to his level.

So I walk across the rainbow of fire,
Determined by love and desire.

And so the glimmer of spirit that I have seen in my soul,
Learns to take its toll,
And so the first steps have been set,
But still I find myself lost in the darkness without a net.

And so this question comes forth,
What lies behind me,
What lies under me,
And what lies behind me,
And furthermore why can I not see nor hear?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day III

The third day in the lather night,
Without my hearing,
Without my sight.

I find myself searching into the endless abyss,
And I loave for God’s gentle kiss.

But still I lie alone on this journey,
My mind is slowly drifting insane,
And I wonder if this journey is in vain.

But my spirit keeps my moving,
Trotting in a jog,
Through the thickening fog.

The vibrant life of my soul is draining from my heart,
And I question again if God shall take his part?
Terror such a beast,
In a blood bath feast,
Why don’t you just let me be,
Or strike me down,
Just kill me!!!!

This place is a hell of my own I guess,
The Devil could not command less.

But I must tell you,
I must at least confess,
"My God is no coward no less"!

"He is my reason,
He is my rhyme,
He is why I cannot stop this journey in time".

But now I wonder if there is time where I lie,
Heaven above where the angels sigh.

And so another day goes by in the utterness so deep,
Maybe one day I shall awaken from this eternal sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day IV

Hither with into the Devil’s realm,
Come forth the forth day,
In which the Devil slithers in behind me,
And speaks to me with a hiss,
And left me with a question of this.

He hissed,
"If your God is so mighty,
If your God is so proud,
Why is it that he does nothing aloud,
And instead cowards in his palace,
On his tiny heavenly tallace"?

He continued,
"As you can see,
I am all you can be,
All the could be yours and mine,
Just join me in time".

"All I need,
And all I want for me,
Is to be loved you see,
This is not something you can do,
This is not a power betroved to you"!

"All your power came from God",
And so he gave me a nod,
And slowly disappeared,
For I have found the power he feared.

"Love of my God to me,
In my faith I have learned to see"!

And so the light of a new world of love,
Radiantly shinned from the heavens above.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day V

Shinning forth with a dazzling sight,
Begins the fifth day and a new light.

A new world I can see,
I can see with my eyes,
For the fog has lifted to see the lies.

And so a new fight has begun,
Finally a war to end damnation,
Finally a war on earth to save salvation.

The angels come forth guiding the way,
And so now I can see where the tomb of the Devil shall lay!
"Retreating,
To where shall you go,
Back to hell,
Hell no"!!!

The demons are running,
And the ghosts are hiding,
For the angels’ victories are now siding,
To a defeat,
For the Devil knows he is beat.

But this time no mercy shall be dealt,
And across the universe God’s power shall be felt!

And so in the closer of the day,
The victory has been won.

No evil is left,
Not the demons,
Not the ghosts,
Not even Lucifer the earthly son.

But in the closer of the day,
After the sweetened victory has been won,
No celebration has begun,
For now is a time of remorse,
For the pawns that have died in the course.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day VI

So set upon the world a sixth day,
A new day,
But still no one to show me the way.

I still find myself in loneliness,
I have learned to walk with my spirit,
And to see with my faith,
But I have found no new life,
No direction,
No one to provide affection.

And so I wonder in time,
Now growing weary of my mind,

Just a decrepitude world of rock lies behind.
But still no life is felt,
But still no life is dealt.

I find myself in a world without,
Without life,
Without love,
Without one word from above.
And so I find myself on a journey unknown,
Waiting for a direction to be shown.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Act III
Rebirth

Day VII

On the break of the seventh day,
On this journey of life I live,
Sets forth a newly born dawn.

I have determined in my quest for an answer,
That what I have been searching for to God,
Lied within my soul.

For now I know what to do on this day,
I know the direction to take,
I know the world to make.

You have always been there,
Lying in my soul,
Lying in my heart there,
Waiting for the toll.

The direction I choose,
The journey I take,
And the path to be seen,
Is from within my very being.

I have been lost since the first day of my birth,
And only now do I realize how to find my way,
Only now do I realize what to say,
"I choose you God"!

In my spirit within my own,
This is the direction shown.

To find my path in the night,
I need only use your guiding light.

For you have always been there,
Waiting all the time,
Waiting for that love of mine.

I need only look to you and you will show me the way,
And now I have learned where you stay.

Suddenly an overwhelming light shinned from the heavens above,
And a presence was to be known,
"Dear my beloved child,
My dream has come true,
My only desire was you".

"You have learned to use the one power that evaded the Devil,
The one power that demised his fall".

"The one power in all the universe and eternal life,
That you have learned to use,
The power to love me"!

"And so you can live you life in a new world of love and peace,
With my children no longer to cease".

A new world has begun to live as one,
Little old me,
The Holy Ghost,
The Father,
And the Son…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If you are lost in the darkness,
Do not have feet to walk,
Eyes to see,
Nor light to find your direction,
Then how do you find your way"???

"You walk with your spirit,
You see with your faith,
And you will always find direction in God"!!!

believe it or not I wrote this one when I was 17. I wrote the first line to the poem like three months before I wrote the poem, the idea was running wild in my head and then one night I just sat down and it almost literally exploded from my head, lol. I will be frank and honest with you, I have no idea where this poem came from, if it was even from me??? I sat down and started writing and the words came in a rush of emotion I could barely keep up with, I never thought about one word, one line, the story, the premise, rhyming, meter, flow, nothing!!! It just poured right out of my mind from the depths of my soul. The funny thing is when is I don't remember how long it took to write but it wasn't that long, one night, an hour or two maybe??? When I was done, I just sat there in utter awe at what I had written, trying to figure out where it came from, when I read it for myself for the first time it was sureal as it was liek reading someone else's work, I literally cried as I was so emotionally drained and overwhelmed. Hard to explain but to this day I still wonder if it was really me who wrote it or I was used as some channel of light and darkness. Maybe one day when I meet with death's embrace I will have my chance to find out the answer, for now every time I read that poem I just cry. For me it was a spiritual awakening, the point in my life when I awoke from the darkness of the abyss and journeyed into the light of love. Thanks so much for reading and I think you might be one of the first to really understand this piece as so many who read it never get past the darkness as they are to blind to really see the light. Purity of the soul, journey well!!! with grace and humility your friend ANGEL

Thank you for sharing your poetry with me :o) To me, this poem is a passionate illustration of inner conflict. It resonates with the intense struggle we each come to know when the physical and spiritual aspects of humanity collide within us. Good job on an eloquent summation of that Angel. I felt it. Peace, love and light on your path, always. GypsySoul73

You have walked with your spirit and head up high in your own individual confidence. You have always had faith never giving up And you will always find your direction as you are not from me but from he. I love this one! Always have and always will!

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
