Array ( [sid] => 4744 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => No Title [time] => 2002-10-08 08:00:00 [hometext] => I wrote this poem to remind myself that no matter how dark and hopeless things look, that there will always be a way out and someone who loves me. [bodytext] => I hide inside myself,no where else to turn
I huddle in the darkness,
So afraid to touch the light.

I shrink at the stirring of memories,
All happy ones have been long forgotten,
My only comfort is the blanket of black.

Music slowly seeps in through a crack,
An escape not yet barricaded by icy feelings,
A soft melody of happiness surrounds me,
It's fluidity picks me up,sits me on my feet.

I begin to dance,slowly at first
Afraid to lose myself in it's warmth,
But as I dance I gain confidence.

I spin,I leap,I twirl,
As I shed my blanket of black,
Suddenly I realize the darkness has gone,
and light has taken it's place.

I turn back for a glance, and to thank God
One last time...for this dance.

Thanks Ginnie-Gin. Good Friends are always good critics. I would put up more of my recent stuff, but I left my book at my house and can't seem to remember it when I traverse home. Maybe soon.

LYLAS,
AshQ
