Shadows fall
Across a sky
With no horizon
The Storms rage on—
Fury undeserved
No stars shine
Clouds cry
Upon the earth's lap
As Thunder rolls o'erhead
The ground quakes
In Fear
Silent Terror
Grips the hills,
Releases in a torrent
Of Tears
No Hope here
Not now
Not ever
There is no light
To dispel this Shadow
The storm is calmed—
For a Time—
It will soon return
And all the world
Passes by in a stream of Light
Unseeing,
Uncaring,
They see nothing—
Too concerned with themselves,
While others disappear into Shadows
In a world all made of
Shadows and Lights
