Darkness Reflected -

A great darkness fell

Bringing forth great sorrow

The light slowly fades

Draping the world in shadow

A darkness beyond dark

Impenetrable and bleak

Like a being of its own

In silence gently seeps

Reflections

Of my soul

Casting forth

Misery and woe

The world

A bleak mirror

A gateway

Into my regret

It’s suffocates all life

As it paints the landscape dead

It steals away my sight

And clouds my heavy head

Deeper through the darkness

My dismal path weaves

If I don’t find my way

This will surely kill me

Reflections

Of my soul

Casting forth

Misery and woe

The world

A bleak mirror

A gateway

Into my regret

The desolate creations

of my failing mind

The profound yearning

of my desperate soul

Forlorn to wander in solitude

Endlessly searching

for an end to this journey

As hope abandons me

I am content to close my eyes

My body falls numb and broken

And my soul silently cries

I glimpse through the trees

To find the image of you

Distorted and fading

And I realize that I’m not far
