The Darkness

Still darkness creeps into the heart

Of an empty soul alone

Edges of sharp veins in a hearth

To drive deeper the pain

Voices of songs past sing

Of joy and radiance beyond

Of a life without worry or strife

Where the nesting soul may rest

Timid is the sound of love

To be touched by the hand

Of a warm embrace

Only darkness remains

Where hope had reigned

So to did the mighty fields

Grasslands fitting for the noble

And tainted by the dreaded

Alone is the path of the wondering

Without a guiding light back home

For the fields no longer live

And all that remains are the lost

Inscribed on the stone are words of truth

Speaking of the journey set before the soul

In them is the only wisdom shared

To embrace the darkness
