In A Dark Pit Poem by Kayanja Ronald Edwin

Dripping and splashing
A pool of water,
Little groans, echoing
Rubbing and stretching
Chains clinking,
On the floor, a dark pit

Either day or night
How many? When was it?
What is now? How old?
Hit enter, syntax error
Alright, why are you here?
Can't tell, don't remember

Pause, play, finally,
Can't think, my mind, silent
Thought I was on the ledge,
About to fall into craziness
Now, I can shut my eyes
From darkness to blindness,

To imagine forgiveness, a light
Piercing through cracks in the stone wall
Falling straight to my darkened heart
Breaking chains off my hands and feet
Setting free, my soul,
To rise up, like a dove,
Into the blue sky
