Alone in the dark, alone with your thoughts
overcome with deep feelings of dread.
all of your hopes and all of your fears
are flowing randomly around in your head.
searching for courage, the spark that’s inside
to stand up and face what the fates bring,
suppressing inside you the need to be free,
as slowly the voice stops to sing
when you finally stand up and step on to the future,
from the tears that are all done and all cried,
facing the fears of all that is unknown,
that takes courage born of blood and of pride.
the torches of knowledge which light up the way
will help guide you to take one step more
that light may grow dim and flicker about
but the spirit comes from deep in the core
The book of today has already been written
the pages are numbered from the days of your life
it’s signed in your blood and then sealed with the laws
ready to cut through your soul like a knife
Look deep in the mirror at you staring back
you see time etched and marked on your face
innocence gone from those eyes which now turn away
a knowing deep faraway look in its place
Another day older theres no going back
no changing the past with a pen
the lesson is learned reaction to action
it is time for the deep wounds to mend
A red dawn breaks out from under the darkness
as nature waits for the new day to begin
Consciousness wakens and stirs from it’s sleep
the world has turned on it’s axis again
Mayet
