The Morning Mist
A lament Every morningIt descendsNo matter how wellThe previous day ends A haze of confusionA slowing of the mindA misting of the windowThat I have inside To fight itWill drain everything I’ve gotBut to let it sit thereWill make my brain rot And so I must pushTake the mountain pathOnly wearying disciplineWill eventually be enough… Continue reading

Pride Before Fall
A lament Cold are the stars As the bitter winds whip A lone tree on a moor By darkness, stripped Ravaged by a storm Of its own making Its twisted roots snap Cracked by the shaking Eerie sounds echo Whenever the wind eases Luminous insects gather Bringing a host of diseases Its end is near… Continue reading

Will I choose the void?The silent scream of sorrow?As I put my dreams on holdOnce again until tomorrow Or will I choose to take stepsTo do the things that I love?Then suffer the days of… Continue reading
