    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this for a friend who was struggling with taking care of her mother with alzheimer's.  I was also caring for a man with end stage emphysema.  He was a good strong Christian man and needed desperately to let go. 

    Slip Away From the Darkness

    Slip away from the darkness,

                and go into the light.

    Tho’ my head does deceive me,

                in my heart, I do know.

    That your reduction is increase

                in opportunities to show

    what His love is about.

                You received, then you gave,

    now receive Him again.

     

    His love constantly flowing

                as a soft breeze blowing,

    oft times bursting with color.

                Flowering, blooming;

                            like no other.

                                                         Love.

     
    What is love, who to love,

                           why love, how to love

     

                                                         Forever love.

    This is a very cool write. I had the idea it was about a dying person before I read the description so your message was well put. I can also see how it would relate to a person with Alzheimer's. Good work here

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
