Title: The Signs

Poem: Recklessly I’ve fallen
Failed to watch my way
Black as night, cold as ice
I’m drowning once again
No one knows, all alone
My secret is within

Didn’t pay attention
to the signs along the path
Subtle signs of danger
I kept running past
Tired as I climb the trail
that led to my despair
Forging though, ignoring fear, failing breath
heart beats fast.

Through the darkness
Faith and friends reach out
Pulling from my hopelessness
Tired, weak, afraid
Longing for a peaceful heart
That calms the storm within
Quiet signs of hope
Along the path I see the signs again
