Light In The Tunnel Poem by Kevin Maroney

Such depression does it bring,
to watch gray shadows high up bring,
through the greater red and yellow,
to such a downheartened fellow.
Such a dream is not usually met,
nor never really often kept.
Instead it's gone, an idle fancy,
nothing really, just a little ancy.
Maybe more, I know it's true,
I can't give up all I've accrued.
I told myself I'd determined to,
to lift myself from when I'm glued.

It's in the past, as all things are,
covered by my rejected scars.
Not an event, just a feeling,
from me, that's what the stars are stealing.
It's all gone wrong and nothing's right,
The end to this tunnel's never in sight.
Yet there it is, right ahead,
standing true to my promised stead.

I ne'er expected this, so true,
scars heal if you let them, they really do.
