The Torment

Sorrow swallowed me into the cruel black sea,
The icy cold water washed over me,
Memories spin around in my mind,
Causing dark lucid dreams of every kind.
Grief and misery played their part,
Leaving behind a broken heart

The Healing

Slowly the water ebbed away,
The blackness mellowed to a shade of grey,
Time as the healer showed the way,
Helping me to cope day by day,
Fear subsiding,confidence reigns,
Ready to face the world again

The Future

The waters now are calm and clear,
My life again is full of cheer,
Smiles return and with them light,
The grey is replaced by colours so bright,
Though life was cruel,when it took you away,
I look to the future as a brand new day

Sue its a poem that explains just what you went through and how you came out the other side, gives hope to many people going through the same emotions, that there is a light at the end.. xxxx

I love the emotion, the flow, the darkness, the sadness, the healing, the optimism, and the happy ending.

I look forward to your next poem. :-)

Thank you,

Tim
