the path
scared & alone
in the darkness
I feel my way back
to the stones
my feet once knew
fear that I may slip
& fall away into the black
never to regain composure
is something I must endure
I tread lightly
on this treacherous journey
there are devils
wicked in guile
that seek to consume
soul & spirit
silently I trek
so not to disturb
the ancient ones
& summon their wrath
they slumber now
should I stray
they will awaken
bring hell upon my head
they guide me
with well worn markers
that I find my way home
covert in nature
into winding valleys
across bridges not used in years
that are my lifelines
my mantra
live life to the fullest
leave the ghosts behind
I see the light before me
should I make it
never again
will I make darkness
my place of abode

My lovely Angel, I love the image you've placed in my mind with your words of a path leading to light. I'll be holding on to this one for darker days. So much love...

I straddle between light and dark and I would suggest you do too. Having said that falling off is a constant risk - It's odd, when I fall of it is always into darkness - life is strange
Excellent ink - I liked it a lot :-)

You have a dark joie de vivre Crim and I'm glad you're keeping the ghosts at bay. "Live life to the fullest" is the most inspiring of mantras. "Don't look back" might be another. Excellent work Lady!
