Sliver of Moon, Hope

Stress permeates the soul with every breath

Day to night, sleep to day, day to night again

A cycle of incompatibilities running ever on

Why return to hell’s providence, a question

 

Nocturnal dreams coming quick, body tired

Mind runs with chaos, inescapability foremost

Trapped in a mouse ball, ever stuck spinning

Why choose this path, when another shined?

 

Slavery at the whim, darkness controlling eye

Forced working all hours of another’s torment

Midnight’s soft pillows being the only respite

Where once joyous bliss was unfurled, it dies

 

Thoughts run rampant in slivers of time

Lessons once learned, pained in past heat

Again the chain binds upon gentle flesh

Never feeling the love once offered free?

 

Echoes still remain beyond the cages iron

The will to patience courses, ignoring pain

The want to reach out increasing in heart

Safety, calm, security, is still redeemable

 

Choose of the wind and spirits that roam

Unto thee, shall return, all strengthening

Away from bleak sand storms, a choice

Peace can be without turmoil’s hardness

 

Prithee, take unto a thought this motion

A notion which sought to soar up before

Rise above the ties that steal away souls

The bright light upon the horizon, a truth

Choose of the wind and spirits that roam
Unto thee, shall return, all strengthening
Away from bleak sand storms, a choice
Peace can be without turmoil’s hardness
