Shadows and Hope
I keep the lights on at night
To ward the shadows away
The shadows that have already begun to take over
Every crevice in my mind
I face each dawn with hope
Hope that I will find my way
But… as the sun slowly embarks on its path across the sky
And the light begins to fade
So do my dreams
And my hopes
Of ever finding an answer
And then suddenly
By some brilliant and horribly ironic twist of fate
I find I cannot sleep
I lay wide awake
Surrounded by my darkness
And shadows
With only questions barricading my peace
Eventually I do find emptiness in some type of subconscious state
It is enough to see me through the rest of the loneliness
Of the night
Yet, when I awaken
It begins
All over again
The light beckons me through the window
Full of hope and false answers
But the sun…
The sun soon begins to arc across the sky once more….
