A familiar light

poem by: Lilly Ellison
Written on Apr 02, 2017

'Tis true what they say
I've seen the light in the tunnel
It was bright as the day
I felt no need to struggle

I felt peace, and serenity
I didn't want to return
I could have stayed for my eternity
'Tis what I'd have preferred

Like wings just now open
I could slowly float away
No longer feeling broken
All my demons now at bay

As I let go of my body
I felt this strange kind of sway
Things got a little foggy
You should've let me be to die this way

The rumbling I heard became an ear piercing ring
All of the nerves in my half attached body did sing
Unsure if it were even still day or were it night
Coz looking up through the dark was that familiar light

I came to in your arms
On the floor of the shower
Still overcome by the calm
I must have stayed there an hour

I was left feeling sad
You should not have tried
Though I know you're now glad
I would rather have died

L.E

Tears in the rain...

poem by Lilly Ellison

Another dark morning, still early I rise. The trees now starting to glisten with their sparkling eyes. And the airs still heavy, and the clouds still remain, upon here where it poured the heavy, thunderous rains. Though the drops ke... Read more
