Nightmare Falling

in poetry •  6 years ago  (edited)

moon day 1.jpg

In the church yard
an old bell rings
falling down a hole
my spirit begins to scream

Falling faster
life deeds flash before my eyes
the good and the bad
terrified by every lie

It is getting darker
farther away from the light
stagnation in the air
no place for flight

The endless pit
filled with deceit
coldness in my spine
there is no heat

All hope is gone
alone in despair
hoping for an end
no one cares

Suddenly lightening strikes
awakened from the dream
love is calling me
pulling me upstream

There is a bright light
my spirit begins to soar
surrounded by peace and serenity
faith is restored

No more nightmares
the bell continues to ring
this time surrounded by life
as the world begins to sing
