My first poem:

flickering light
its dim and its bright
leading me on
there out of sight
fearing the darkness
cast shadows i see
coming quickly and here
all over me

breathless and racing
the journey is led
toward a voice or a sound
that beacon ahead
push fear aside
its from fear that i hide
for lost and alone
it is there that i dread

cant look behind
cant be forward to go
for there is a tunnel
where hope lays down low
and pulls out your heart
and wont let it go

but soon to appear
is a vision more clear
clouds that confuse
will all disappear
its brighter up there
and thats where i seek
the beauty and love
i thought so unique

although i have left
it is right that i go
for what matters most
i can never let go
true to myself
it is hell to all else
for arrived is my prize
forever shines
the light is my eyes

my path is now set
and step follows step
to get where i get
i forget
what i left
