The light dims
Sounds of the night
Envelop the land
Echoing over tall trees
And small creatures
Tucking themselves in
As the sun sets
And the moon glows
Over empty trails
That rest upon the ground
Awaiting the rush
Of a new day’s dawn

A lonely beacon
Upon the hill
Illuminating the evening
Letting its light shine
Through the darkest hours
Guiding those who go astray

23 Wednesday Jul 2014
Flares blaze in the sunlight
Marking the field below
Strewn with shattered pieces
Of innocence
The battle continues
For the right to make claim
To a land that does not belong
To any one man
Voices cry out in the night
The sounds of souls making
Their assent to the skies
From which they fell
And the world grieves aloud
And promises justice
For those who could not fight back
For all who were lost
In Memory of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17….R.I.P.

It approaches
Lingering shadows
Filling the blackness
Haunting illusions
Filling empty spaces
Surrounding the innermost
Profound secrets
Hiding in the night

another day, courage, Exhausted, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, time
Endless hours
Wasted
Until the time stops
And you close yourself off
From the every day
Hoping to find
One ounce
One last crumb
Of strength and
Courage
To make it through
Another day
