Road to the Dawn

Road to the Dawn

What’s that Darkness you have on?

Could it be a faded memory from days gone by?

Alone on your road

You feel your heart has gone stone cold

Fly away on tattered wings to the sky

 

 

You look to the sun

 

 

It seems this nightmare’s just begun

While in your head and in your sleep

You keep memories of the dead and fingers creep

 

 

Your eyes stray to the sky above

 

 

Asking for a saving light

To guide you in your endless fight

You breathe, you sigh

Your spirit is tired but your heart is ready for one more try

 

 

In the end, all you want is someone to catch you

 

 

For recognition of what it is that you do

Because in a world made of darkness and light

There is always going to be a fight

And when you are called on

And you use that Darkness you have on

People will whisper your name

And you will hide your face in shame.

 

 

Author's Note

All right, my closer friends on here MAY recognize the beginning stanza because I wrote it a few years ago,by the way if it sounds familiar that may be because it was modeled after "Delta Dawn" which is a song that I heard a while ago. Really, I love this poem, and my closer friends, again, will know what its about. ^^

I've been looking to finish this for a while now, I can honestly say I'm so happy with this. :D

You should be happy about this it is a very moving poem. It relates to me in a few ways and I know a couple of people who can get some emotion out of this poem as well. Great work!

I remember, well, the song you refer to (the original by Tanya Tucker). LOL This is an Extraordinary poem, Aveira! The fight between the darkness and the light. The equilibrium that takes place between the two. Excellent, my friend!

I remember that first stanza. "Road to dawn/What's that Darkness you have on?"
