Bottom of The Spiral

Just a poem of questions I have been wondering. Hope you enjoy!

If I open my heart to faith again,
What will happen this time?
Will I be welcomed in, open arms
or forsaken; completely denied
Perhaps not believing was the easier route
Not having to sit around in wonderment
Isn’t life easier without the doubt?
Once you open the door,
Can it ever truly be closed and locked
On the other hand;
If you shut the door, slam it tight
Can it ever be reopened, is that possible?
I thought life was better back when my heart was closed,
Shut off to the love showering down from some higher power,
Not knowing or believing that someone was up there, looking out
Sending angels to help me walk through dark portals
Where demons wait for me to take a step on the wild side,
The place where one step turns into a path,
A lifetime journey down the spiral,
The abyss, and if you’re not careful
You can’t find our way back out.
I’ve been to the bottom of the spiral before,
Always finding my way out
but what if this time it is too late
and I can’t find a step onto the lighter path
Where I’ll find a way out of this dark tunnel
What if darkness is all that is left?

Great write…
When God closes one door HE will open another for you.
Keep hope in your heart and faithe in your soul.

WEll expressed prose with not as much doubt as you’d like to think there is. Your wanting deminishes that doubt, my friend. The light is always on, you can open your eyes to see it anytime you are at that bottom of the spiral.

Ooh I really liked this poem. Very thoughtful questions. I’ve got an answer for the last one – “What if darkness is all that is left?” it means you still gota turn on the bed light.

When you are down at the bottom of the spiral and the darkness seems as if all that is left, there is only one way to go and that is back up into the light. You just need faith. I love the poem. Well done.

Great write. Personally, I think religion is just a placebo pill for the morally insecure.

While we are alive we have no choice but to get up off the ground and climb up that mountain. When there is nothing, we are nothing. But we are alive and that is something. Something is always worth working for when we want it bad enough.

Great piece.
