This Last Journey Into Darkness

. I am beginning this last journey with a heart that is heavy and a heart that is full of fear I fear the helplessness that is coming . I fear the memories that will fall to the wayside where there are dark-eyed crows waiting to peck holes in my soul where there are jackals prowling around looking for identities to devour I fear the darkness that is coming . I have no choice- I cannot stay where I am my feet are already traveling down the road and I must go along and I must go alone I fear the loss of me that is coming . I am a writer- I cannot lose my nouns nor my verbs and adverbs nor my adjectives and the tension of my plots I fear the emptiness that is coming . Somewhere in the distance my journey will come to an end and my mind will no longer be in tatters I will be in the land of light and love . and I will be whole . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~©2018, susan williams
