A black cloud envelops my sky
Threatening to rain down a torrent of pain
Oceans of commotion swirl in my brain
And I try to bandage the wounds in vain
I see only the receding vistas of light
And night prowling like a stealthy thief
The past chills the mind like hanging icicles
And I feel so heavy with frozen grief
I inch my way up like an ugly snail
My life is riddled with contradictions
Oh, I am way laid, lost and beaten
From every corner, I meet only oppositions
I must break loose of all the tethers
Let my soul embrace all that is dear
From this cage, I must fly out
The sky beyond me lies blue and clear!
Now I am on a journey of redemption
I tell myself- “Come out from this hell
Just start anew, nothing is beyond retrieval
The dawn is near and all shall be well”
I am happy you concluded the poem with hope - the light of redemption at the end of the tunnel. The poem is gripping in its entirety. Loved particularly that night prowling like a stealthy thief. (10)
Redemption is not always granted but should be actively sought Thanks, Valsa Peace
Just start anew, nothing is beyond retrieval The dawn is near and all shall be well” A beautiful poem that encourages us to wait for a sunny dawn in a painful night..................10
A very well rhymed lovely write. The tone of the poem is set in the opening stanza- 'my sky' covered by black cloud threatening to rain pain and vain efforts to contain the pain {! }; the realisation that sky beyond me lies blue and clear 'before embarking on a journey of redemption'. An excellent and penetrating write; demands repeated visitation. Thanks for the share Valsa.
To my poem list to be forever reflected on! Well done Valsa! Redemption indeed! ! !
Now I am on a journey of redemption I tell myself- “Come out from this Just start anew, nothing is beyond retrieval The dawn is near and all shall be well” Lovely laudable lines!
