A lantern is no longer lit
Near this cell, where I must sit
Darkness plagues my every day
Yet in this narrow space I stay
Golden skies, in this empty place
Soar across, in an endless race
Yet, I cannot see them with my eyes
I see them in my mind and try
To recreate a land once cherished
Where land and trees forever flourished
And flora once did overwhelm
When I was ruler of this realm

I love the way this one flows. Brought images of daily struggles to my mind, sprinkled with a little bit of fairytale dust towards the end. Loved it!
