The Lights Along the Tunnel (Poem)
The Lights Along the Tunnel
By J.C. Solis
There is a boy that’s alone in this world
In a dark place where his life has unfurled
An abyss of nothing, no chance of sight
A place so sullen, devoid of all light
There is a boy who cries into the dark
A boy who carries on life grown so stark
A light bulb above him, tears are now shed
Surrounded by dark, of living and dead
The light bulb now flickers, he must move on
To find a new light before grace is now gone
Along the tunnel, a new light still glows
Along this tunnel, the darkness still grows
The light bulb is snuffed, his cries now get worse
The life of the child now becomes a curse
The path is ahead, to the next light he goes
Yet how to get there, nobody does know
The dark ravine, he must cross through life’s pain
A feeling, through turmoil, that never wains
The life in the dark that tries to snuff hope
The life that all humans must come to cope
The Life he must live, it hurts and is coarse
Yet he must move on, as
