Darkness Falls
For everyone who has faced dark times.

Darkness may fall across all of your lands
In the still of the night, thoughts come of the end
Focus not on that which causes one's shaking hands
Through the darkness, tests to see if one might bend
--
Let not the darkness fill the well of your soul
Keep it filled with things that fuel your might
Remember the tales of heroes of old
For some things in this lie are worthy of the fight
--
Through suffering comes clarity of mission
We all must walk through the unyielding
The tests of our resolve get us to this position
Embracing the fear, your strength you're wielding
--
Being beaten is not the end of the game
Be swallowed by the darkness falling, some are
Live life to which there's an echo of your name
Never allowing the pains to go too far
--
Wings of an angel await from the devil's hand
A fight awaits the poor souls, feeling their fate
To walk a walk which never gets far, feet stuck in quick sand
All heavy feelings have solutions, which sadly must wait
--
Here him whisper in your ear
Like voices in your head
His voice echoing brings a chilling fear
Your thoughts of the grounds littered with the dead
--
What comes for us all, choices will be tough
Decide a path and take it you must
Be mindful of your feelings and control yourself when it gets rough
Do not succumb to things through your life that will make it a bust
--
Face the demons, both before and on your shoulder
Run hard and fast through the falling darkness to its last
Worry not when exhaustion comes as you get older
Be present in the fight until the darkness has passed

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

I'm afraid I have not the fight left in me. Just one step in front of the other until there are no more. Still, I must say that yours are good & encouraging words, if not to me, perhaps to someone else.
This poem beautifully captures the strength that rises from the darkest moments.
I love this poem⭐️⭐️⭐️
