Reaching out to catch it,
Afraid to hope too much,
Looking back behind you,
You see nothing,
Darkened space,
Lost as only darkness can,
Staring,
The light ahead, full of promise,
Someday maybe,
Dim shadows surround,
Enough to see,
To see where you stand,
Look to your feet,
But where are you going?
Reaching out,
Tomorrows light too far,
Eyes closed,
Searching the attainable light,
One step,
Leaving bright rooms behind,
Bright lights without need of being caught,
Light at your back casting shadows so free.

such an intriguing read, thanks for sharing
and inspiring my little scribble
(sunrise's gift earth its shadows
seeking light, to unearth our worth
vanquishing darkness, to excavate
that which we know, feel
awaits on us, to realise
before
its all too late and our horizons
can only be witnessed, dimmed
by the life weary shades
warping-bleak, our view of life..)
