Brilliant Darkness Poem by Jessy Liz

There will always be something you missed;
Perhaps a prism to the past..
Perhaps a ghost barely visible..
A voice barely audible..
But in your subconscious, none the less, there it will be;
Haunting you..
Holding your hand as you walk, lifeless, amongst those who have wronged you,
And those who will wrong you.
You may be alone in your physical state,
But deep within your soul there will be a force that grips you with a strength known to no man,
And that is when you will truly feel it;
That something has been left behind....
There will always be something you missed;
Perhaps a prism to the past..
Perhaps a ghost barely visible..
A voice barely audible..
But when the day comes and you are
Surrounded by darkness, in its brilliant state of white,
When your eyes finally adjust,
You will see it, in all its glory, and you will understand.
You will realize what you have left behind;
Just when it's too late.
And like all else, it will fade away.
Summer will turn to autumn, and on into winter,
Like the seasons of your life.
The brilliant glow of darkness will fade into
The dwindling sun of oblivion, the stars will shine upon your grave;
Mourning for their loss.
Yet still I will remain here;
A prisoner of your past....
