Alleviated My Overwhelming Darkness Poem by Doris Cornago

Alleviated My Overwhelming Darkness

Rating: 5.0


Kept away, day to day distracted
You're my miracle, so stayed
Whenever I fear today
I look back at past
Events, where
I've been,
Grief
Losses
Sadness
Your hand
On my feet
Alleviated my
Overwhelming
Darkness, never
Will I fear again after
Knowing that someone
Comes with the package
A kind man, most humane
Set in motion, borrowed time
Fragile canoe riding the waves
Fearful, yet watching out for mine
Courage comes on the brink of brine
Love covering us like a comfort blanket

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is how this commitment started, from darkness and loss, a companionship, then a sailing together inseparable, yet in separate canoes. This relationship has withstood the test of time for 6 years, is there any reason it can't go forever?

Hi Bernard, thank you for appreciating. This was intended for Valentine's Day, to comfort those who cannot physically be with their significant other but who are with them, too, in a manner which is most comforting.

I meant, go on forever. This is really crux of life, its temporal quality. We fear that when we enjoy a thing, it will be taken away frrom us and so, we hold back for the ‘right time' which never comes. So, why not throw all caution to the wind and see where the canoe takes us?
