Therapy a book of poems by Philip L Moore
ISBN 978184426396-7
Some of these are very dark as they deal with abuse, loss of love and death.

written for my friends children the first year after their father had passed away.

THE LIGHT FROM THE DARK

THE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS THERE, JUST LOST,

FOR I WAS BURIED INSIDE THIS DEEP AND DARKENED CAVERN, TRYING TO FIND A HAND TO WHICH I COULD GRASP AND EXPLODE ME TO THE SURFACE TO THAT, THAT I HAD ONCE KNOWN,

FOR I WAS LOST WITH OUT VISION, WITHOUT TASTE, WITHOUT FEELING, UNABLE TO STRETCH OR BE FELT, STUMBLING THROUGH LIFE UNAIDED LOOKING FOR A GATEWAY TO LEAD ME FROM DISPAIR

THEN I FOUND AN OPENING THEN I SAW MY SHADOW, FOR THEN I HAD A FRIEND. TOGETHER WE GREW STRONGER EVENTUALLY BREAKING FREE,

IT WAS THEN I FELT YOUR HAND PULLING ME RELEASING ME, I WAS BLINDED BY YOUR PRESENCE,

YOUR WARMTH CARESSING MY SKIN

LETTING ME LIVE AGAIN, FOR NOW I CAN SEE, TASTE AND FEEL,

FOR NOW I AM FREE AGAIN FREE FROM THE DARK DANCING IN THE LIGHT.
