Darkness Defeated

   Darkness Defeated

The mind be a dark place; when the monsters come. There are times when life looks back at you; be that when you ask what was it for; have I come to that crossroad.  Be it that my mind has deserted me; or be it that the time has come. As the sun in the morning rises, are there no answers; just another day of that which be the darkness.  Where is this place we sit and wonder; be this that which be called life.  Or be this just the darkness of the mind; where the terror hides.  Still we rise to our feet, once more to face this unending battle.  Life or death be this the only path.  Yet if we do not rise up, have we made our choice; or be it that the choice is not ours to make.  One wonders be this the mystery of life; that we no not when death comes.  If this be so then be it, like the sun; our hands can not stay the coming.  What of our will then; wherein lay our strength.  Be the monster defeated there.  Oh hear me now; matters not that the darkness surrounds; for what lay within can not be defeated.  Let the light of your soul smash the darkness, let not your heart be troubled.  For against the light of faith and hope nothing can stand.  So rise up and good be the fight with darkness defeated...

  1. I stand beside you in your fight against the darkness Mark. It will pass and you will see the light again giving you that hope that always keeps you going. I know it is never gone forever. But your words flow with such intensity letting others who also live in the dark know they are not alone. As you don't give up you give others strength as well. Let he who is above you give you stength so you may continue to lead in your battle. Wishing you a ray of light. Hugs Carrie

  2. Wow! I so understand this and sympathize. We all have our struggles with the darkness, but, hopefully, come out the other side, triumphant. Very powerful writing!
