Your Poetry Dot Com - Ray Of Light

The poem outlines my journey through depression, the way I see it. Some have trouble working out what the other land represents (not to mention the rainbows!). It'd be interesting to see what people here think it means! :-) [bodytext] => I wandered deep into the night
Through darkened paths, no end in sight
Dark clouds thickened over my head
and deep inside my soul lay dead
Yet I struggled on into the night
Searching for some ray of light
Fearful and weary I looked on to see
A wonderful land made just for me
So I found the strength and ran away
Away from this world of black and grey
I ran around in vicious circles
amidst rainbows of pink and purple
No ray of light did I find there
just beautiful colours to catch my glare
‘Twas time to face the path behind me
For that darkened path was my reality
So I stood still for a moment or two
Slowly the sky turned from grey to blue
The rainbows had cleared without a trace
and the sun shone brightly in their place
There I stood, eyes open wide
no reason to run away and hide
A ray of sunshine warmed my face
and my body glowed in it’s embrace
Then outward shone that ray of light
displaying colours of yellow and white
Upon my face came a knowing grin
That ray of light lies within!

I wandered deep into the night
Through darkened paths, no end in sight
Dark clouds thickened over my head
and deep inside my soul lay dead
Yet I struggled on into the night
Searching for some ray of light
Fearful and weary I looked on to see
A wonderful land made just for me
So I found the strength and ran away
Away from this world of black and grey
I ran around in vicious circles
amidst rainbows of pink and purple
No ray of light did I find there
just beautiful colours to catch my glare
‘Twas time to face the path behind me
For that darkened path was my reality
So I stood still for a moment or two
Slowly the sky turned from grey to blue
The rainbows had cleared without a trace
and the sun shone brightly in their place
There I stood, eyes open wide
no reason to run away and hide
A ray of sunshine warmed my face
and my body glowed in it’s embrace
Then outward shone that ray of light
displaying colours of yellow and white
Upon my face came a knowing grin
That ray of light lies within!
