Lost Poem by Kaila George

Insanity almost to the brink

Lost in that dark black abyss

Then a thread of light piercers the night

My eyes scrunch at the blinding light

Not use to this…what is this

I prefer to mull around in the dark

I don’t want that damn light here

But it just seems to grow with every passing breath

Then curiosity got the best of me

As I reached out for that cursed light

But what I saw..... I was blinded with awe

Colours that danced across my eyes

Made me see my world in a different light

To me this seemed like a magical world

Seeing and touching things I’ve seen

But never really appreciating before

Morning sunsets….caught my breath

I just sat in awe as the moon descended into the night

The flowers that bloomed made my heart swoon

The twilight shades made me stand in awe

At all the beauty that God had made

And the laughter of my son…made me want to live again

I was so lost…thinking back then...that the dark was OK

I was so wrong to even think that way

Even today…I never tire of the old things that are new

To me every day of my life….is now like a magical world

My feelings are no longer hidden from view

I now feel that I am a part of you

Smiles....welcome to my world
