A young maiden stands
At the foot of the steps
Watching another, in dismay

Small child, inquisitive in nature
Pushes mightily against the door
A glimmer of light from the other side
Instinctively, he must know more!
Unaware he is being watched
He’s determined to make his way in
The door pushes back, stubborn, stuck
Is there even a chance he will win?
Head down, he is almost there
Til a sound from the room disturbs
“Who dares gain entrance to my lair?”
From a creature, now, quite perturbed
“Little boys don’t belong here” he cried
“You best go outside, yes, to play.”
“Leave me alone, in my empty home,
I beg of you, please, GO AWAY!”
The little boy laughed at the face on the wall
Not heeding the creature, would be his downfall…

As she lifts the veil
Awakening morning’s light
Freedom is given
Her flocks fly hurriedly by
Before darkness reigns again

She lifts
The midnight sky
With a touch of her hand
Allowing the light to shine through
Morning
As the darkest day ends, fleeing
Seeking newer places
To claim its own
She smiles

I know not where it is, I should turn
As thoughts inside, begin to churn
An acid, meant to truly burn
A helpless moment, of which I yearn
*
To cast away, the thoughtless words
From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd
To know that I’m not really heard
My patience, buried, now interred
*
Into hopelessness, I need to fight
To end this horrid, dreadful plight
That I endure, both day and night
For where there seems, no end in sight
