Harbinger - Quotes From The Dark

Harbinger

Subtle she sleeps

just beneath the surface

biding her time until the moment

when your soul cries

The breaks between the dawn

are where she hides

whispering of an end

that comes like a dark tide

There's no stopping her

she holds time in her hands

gentle or vicious, she takes as she wills

whisking away the light

And no matter how you beg

no matter how you scream

she will come in the dark

on the winds of the night

Her gift is the end of life

when time for a soul must stop

wrapping her shadows tightly

to pull you into the depths

Her name is one not uttered

with a smile or happy face

she is the one whom we will all meet

she is the Reaper, the harbinger of Death

The Author

For "Into The Dark World" space, we are pleased to present you a new collaboration with TerriLynn Le Blanc, a wonderful poet that will bring us in a twisted land, full of emotions and darkness...

TerriLynn Le Blanc (aka Yvonne White) was born in Halifax Nova Scotia Canada in 1982. Her father's work made it necessary that her family move quite often throughout her childhood until they finally arrived in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1990. During her formative and teenage years, TerriLynn was prone to being

very introverted and enjoying her own company as opposed to others. This time allowed her to explore

her imagination, draw, and begin writing as well as delving into music.

She drifted in and out of creating stories and writing poetry as well as teaching herself to play piano, but eventually, she began to notice that her motivation for a lot of once enjoyable things was draining away. During her early twenties, things became apparent that not all was right in her mind and by the time she was 30 she had

been diagnosed with several different mental illness' which finally brought to light just why she felt like she was breaking apart and losing bits of herself slowly over time.

While endeavoring to find treatments for her disorders, TerriLynn picked up poetry writing again and found a release for a lot of the darkness she'd been hiding inside from when she was very young. She has since had two of her piece published and currently runs her own Facebook page with over 6,000 followers (to date) which she started in Aug 2017. From there, she continues to write every day, posting at least two new pieces a night all with the goal of reaching out to others who may be feeling what she's feeling and fighting to see the light of day in the dark. Her goal is to be a voice for those who can't express what they feel and to drive away the stigma behind mental illness.

"I want people to finally realize that it really is okay not to 'be okay' and that breaking can be

beautiful ... breathtakingly so." - TerriLynn Le Blanc
