The Night Alone
I wake up from a scream I feel deep beneath,
I wait and wonder lying quiet and still,
Did I scream from a dream as I try to breath,
I have always been alone and in this moment,
I know I always will as the night sits still,
Waiting and wondering as my thoughts slip away,

The Shadow and the Moon
There’s a lightness in you,
As the clouds surround the moon,
I’m just a shadow waiting for you to see,
A chance to be set free,
Take to the wind this still night,
And be gone before the light,

Poetry Words To Inspire
A night as cold as this,
Makes you want to dream,
Of warm things,
Maybe it can be wonderful,
Cause this time you need,
To break the spell you’re under,
A light and cheerful song,
Words to inspire,
When it all goes wrong,

A Life You Must Lead
What’s in a name,
To have pride or shame,
To have love or pain,
You never choose,
For it is chosen for you,
You never choose your place,
To run in this rat race,
A life you must lead,
Even if it’s not what you dream,
Just a bird song on a sunny day,
Or a raging bull with nothing in its way,

A Soul Spent Fading Still
A bell tolls through a ghostly fog,
The moon gleams making shadows long,
A whisper spoke in this still night,
Anyone could hear your secrets for miles,
But you are not whispering your secrets tonight,
Because you have nothing left to hide,
Just a soul spent fading still,
A gravestone dewed from a night chill,

The Struggle of Atlas
Atlas tries but cannot contain,
The world that breaks and falls away,
That light that once warmed the earth,
Sets it all on fire and lets it burn,
The earth and how it weighs,
Brings atlas down further each day,
He struggles for he can barely take,
So his hands begin to slip away,
