boreal aurora
I call out to the darkness,
trapped in my box I yell,
seeking answers in silence.
My efforts prove fruitless;
my voice made no noise
and my mouth did not move.
I reach out into the shadows,
my voice lost in the void,
as darkness shifts,
into light.
Numb, I push forward,
yet i find nothing,
nothing besides white,
I extend my hand to the light,
white parting like water,
revealing a path unseen.
In the midst of the stillness,
I embrace the unknown,
and reach towards an ending.

Darkness is sadness in this poem?
Voice didn't not get produced
Could mean a lot
It could mean it was not useful for you to question or som
I didn't understand the later part
White could be hope
Maybe
You are bemoaning about your life during some sad time
Andnyou have found hope in something
Nice poem
But you could do better

thank you

It's more complex than what you took it for but i don't blame you lol, the poem is an allegory for an actual Limbo, like the title states, it's about the moving on of the dead and learning to overcome the fear of death itself. The line "and my mouth did not move" simply means that the speaker has no physical body, this theme is pushed further by the adjective "numb". The speaker reaching "an ending" in the final stanza is the soul passing on to another plane, Heaven/Hell or simply into nothing.
