Untitled Poem 1

A storm rolls in the hills of the sea.

A bird cries out in misery.

Caged, trapped... eternally.

Who will finally set me free?


A world torn of blood and lies

We applaud the ignorant, yet we are blind

To the struggles and the pain of those long passed

Yet a hand outstretched will ne'r us grasp


The tools of hatred, of blood and war

Will stand above all for 'ere us more

And the rain will come and wash our hands

Of the pain our hearts to those we pass


The grasp of minds of bodies and soul

Will 'ere us more unto glory galore

For the bite and the fang of the dog and the wolf

Are different at best and the same at worst


The silence of the world, and the whisper of the trees

As they sway together in harmony

A quiet symphony unheard by man

And grasped upon quietly by the souls of the damned


So fly and grow and wither and die

For the flowers of hope and the shadows of goodbye

All will wither and turn to dust

'fore being reborn as one of us.
