Sorrow’s Song
Dim faces fly by,
Bringing bitter regret,
Full of lost hopes,
That I’d rather forget,

How could this be?
That I’m feeling so down,
When near and where distant,
Love floats all around,

I try and reach out,
To hold it, embrace it,
But all my touch does,
Is mar it, deface it,

My heart is so barren:
A well long dried up,
My soul screams for comfort:
A lost frightened pup,

There’s a thick sheet of ice,
Blocking me from the world,
Causing perception,
To crumble and swirl,

I yearn for the clarity,
Of what’s hidden deep,
The secrets lie waiting,
Alone and asleep,

My sorrow sings sweetly,
Pushed on by my pain,
My wounds they bleed freely,
Like soft crimson rain,

I’m past comprehension,
I wander alone,
With nothing to cherish,
No place to call home,

I’m sure there’s still something,
As hopeless this seems,
A place to find safety,
To unfurl my wings,

The sorrow will drain out,
Replaced soon by peace,
It’s patience I need now,
To reach sweet relief...
