The tree’s stretch over my head
Reaching ever higher towards the sky,
Eternal sentinels standing watch.
Voiceless and silent they remain as
Orange twilights crests the night
Rushing to day’s end.
For I am death
The destroyer of worlds
The death of the mind
Strangled and starved
Burned by my own hand
By my own desire
Locked in infinite cycles
Unrelenting
Indifferent
For I am life
The creator of worlds
The birth of new ideas
Nourished and flourished
Grown by my own hand
By my own will
Ever changing in cycles
Unrelenting
Unstoppable
For I am human
The great destroyer and creator
Trapped between life and death
By fate’s illusion and will’s fallacy
Watching cycles fall apart
Unrelenting
Human
as we walk shrouded in white fog
with diverging hearts and minds
we whisper lies to each other.
the wide river besides us rises up
as if to cleanse our mortal fallacies,
but is lost to our blinded eyes.
for it is in the valley of spears we
walk without shoes while bleeding
from unfeeling feet.
hidden doth the truth stay
for it is not truth we wish for
but our own delusions of reality.
The Darkness comes
as the day fades away.
We bind the light to
circles of stone,
keeping the shadows at bay.
Cloaked in twilight’s decay
we huddle close for warmth.
In the face of the black of night
we forge our bonds ever tighter.
Letting the embers of hope
Ignite our dreams to push
through the night.
I who walk alone
on this path called fate,
stop and stare at my neighbors
forever out of reach and
just beyond my finger tips
stretches the abyss.
How silently they tread
as if they were only
a trick of light and mind.
Where does one go
when there is no where
left to tread, when by
rain and storm all roads
disappear without a trace.
When the light is lost
can I hold the candle
and be the torch bearer?
Or is the darkness merely
A trick of light and mind?
