    In the beginning there was Darkness
    Into this Darkness forms a void
    A void deep within your soul-ness
    A battle between Ego and Id to exploit,

    And in from the out comes Light
    Lifting the veil off exposing mystic Self
    Fear and pain eased like the edge of night
    I come out to remember how I truly felt,

    I remember Black Smoke filled the end of Days
    The crying left to those in my wake
    And standing among the crowd were the Three Fates
    Singing their lament that Death is never late,

    I’m not confused because it’s just beneath my skin
    Deep inside my soul resides redemption
    And I no longer linger on the outside looking in
    For I have conquered my fear of looking at my own reflection.

    Hi Trin,


    Glad you liked it. Yeah it is a dark piece but it is about finding yourself and realizing that the only thing that holds us back is our own fears, the fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of death, etc. You can never be truly free until you conquer your fears, and some people just have a harder time coming to grips with that. Well, so much for getting on my soapbox and preaching a little. Take care Trin and I hope to read some more of your stuff.

    Love, Peace and Happiness,

    ALI
