The Inevitable light at end of the road



As I strolled along a dark and stormy road
Not knowing the unknown
I Stumbled and Tumbled
Knowing there will come a time,
When the road will come to the end of the line

Looking back at those days of madness,
Hatred, shame, angst, sadness
Does it matter now with blackness?
What was the use?
Was it just dragging me loose?
Did I smile enough?
Feel the freedom to play rough?
To live life to bluff?


NO, and pothole after pothole
I trip In a hole,
Do I have to get up?
I don't think I have the build-up


I still have so much to do
not having a clue
But what can I do


And all this happening and only I hear
Get up, get up, this is only fear
COME ON COME ON
Before it's gone






But now what’s that In the distance
Is this for my existence?
This is the beginning of something greater to come?
Something I can escape from, overcome?
I feel myself running no longer stumbling
I’m nearly there. I can feel it rumbling


But wait…
As I look at my fate
This light,
It doesn’t feel so right


I look back
I've got so much flak
I’ve come so far
But, is this the Inevitable Star?


When only the inevitable end getting closer and closer
I can only try to be a composer
But this can’t be ending
I’ve just been contending


Doesn’t matter now
Nothing more I can Allow
I’ve lived the best
But I can’t do the rest


But I need to embrace it,
Here I need to commit
We're at the end
We are about to ascend
Into Love
Into the light
Because God is bringing me into his sight

About this poem

A person’s terrible life where they have challenges and every day he/she tries to get up and live the same old boring messed up life. But then they see something, something that can change their life forever, a dream that they can chase. As they get closer and closer they determine that that “light” was the way home, up to god. They accept the truth and move forward to the light and give themself to God
