In darkness
She seeks her solace
Quietly
He hovers
But raven brings no comfort
Merely an omen

Lavender shores paint the scene
Of a land sedate, and so serene
Where verdant grass and trees align
And form a vision, heavenly, divine
I have journeyed here, this very day
I think, perhaps, it’s where, I’ll stay
To watch the waters ripple gently
And listen to silence, quite intently
Let my mind wander, like the clouds
Far, far away from the noisy crowds
Yes, here is where I’ll find my solace
In this place, tranquil and flawless

In a worn out gown, she holds back her tears
Simply wasting her life, in her final years
Sacrifices, she’s made, senseless, inane
Left her with nothing, but agony and pain
She weeps in silence, for all she has lost
A home left in shreds, her own holocaust
Tortured, by her own desperate needs
Nearing her death, she quietly pleads
A prayer for solace, comfort for her heart
On the wings of an angel, she peacefully departs

I am as black as a raven
Against the brightest moon
I venture, seeking solace
Taken from me, too soon
Ebony night, speak to me
Let peace and tranquility abound
Shadows enveloping, sheathing
Their spirits dance, profound
A settling calm, stormless
Sends me deeper into the vast
I am no longer searching
The darkness has claimed me
At last

I am weary
Growing tired of the day
Awaiting, the night
Longing
For darkness, the Milky Way
My mind, emptying
Of daily matters
Weighing on my heart
My thoughts, scatter
And yet, I am alive
Wishing on the stars
Gathering the light
It awakens me
Ebony splendor
Surrounding my soul
Taking me places
Tis where I am whole
