Amy Van Dyk Poems

I remember lights bursting, flashing
Such disconnected thoughts
Chaos
What had we done?
...

My mind's eye is blinded
By what I have found
A powerful calmness
I'm not homeward bound
...

This thing has taken away your life
Taken away your laughter, your tears
Your confidence, your fears
I hate it; and you so much
...

It began as just a point of light
The depth of it's brightness
Shown on through the night
It sang and danced as it carelessly grew
...

Put whole self in, shook about
Never was there any doubt
Crossed too many lines
Ignored all of the signs
...
