Existence


Do not venture far from the white light

For walking alone leads to sorrow and death

Fury and wrath ruin the night


Though you think the dark is right

The lightning in life is worth the endeavor

Do not venture far from the white light


Good citizens try to maintain the fight

Their attempted deeds have been misconstrued

Fury and wrath ruin the night


Going into the darkness clouds our sight

We try our best to maintain our elation for life

Do not venture far from the white light


Men near death who see the blinding sight

learning to except what lies ahead

Fury and wrath ruin the night


And you my child are worth the height

For protecting you form this torment

Do not venture far from the white light

Fury and wrath ruin the night

  1. Jayce,

    You have the form. If you want to follow T.S. Eliot's advice and steal from other poets make sure you steal from many: meaning, steal from six or seven poets and use their lines to reinforce yours.

    Good job with form.
