Surrounded by the mighty firs
Cloaked in gossamer mists

A flower stands, the reddest rose
Waiting for his love, her kiss

She sits and watches quietly
Captivated by its desire to live

Among the barren land, where she
Is more than willing to forgive

This rose, perhaps her long lost love
Though she continues to just admire

Unsure if she should even touch
As her heart fills with desire

She reaches for the stem, so green
Unaware of the sharpest thorn

As blood trickles from her fingertip
She remembers why, with scorn

The sun, bursting through clouds

Like a volcano, releasing its steam

Bright rays of light, dripping down

Like magma, it pools, into the ocean

Hardening, as cooling waters greet

Pieces, floating onto the shore

Creating scapes, rocks, positioned

On the sand, a final resting place

As the clouds continue to erupt

Overflowing, with the glory of morn

Perchance to binge on Earthly time

A thought we humans find sublime

Still, we worry, this we must endure

A life that ends, of this we’re sure

Why rush, to get through every day

Those wasted hours, we threw away

Perhaps we need to slow it down

Take time to breathe, instead of drown

In things, that aren’t worth a dime

Turn back those dreaded sands of time

Take heed of this, I must implore

Before Heaven opens its only door

Stairs that wrap, disappear, out of sight

Ghostly figures that haunt the night

Dare not disturb this hallowed place

Nor ascend the steps, once filled with grace

Beware the guard who stands his ground

Tip toe now, don’t make a sound

Dare you disturb the spirits sleep

In this castle, is where you’ll keep

Locked away, in the darkest depth

Tis where you’ll take your final breath

Black in light
No color in sight
Sunlight turns to gray

Darkness bites
The spectrum fights
Say goodbye to another day

Sky of night
No longer bright
Its lantern gone astray

Til ebon takes flight
And morn wakes with delight
Casting the darkness away
