The fog descends upon you,
so heavy and so dark,
Its mercenary movement stalks
your soul, invades your heart.
Embracing all within its path,
there is no chance escape,
It settles in quite silently
and leaves its darkened drape.
An appalling apparition, it
caresses each sweet thought,
Hopes and dreams defenseless
fall prey to all it's sought.
It takes hold of your
innocence and turns it inside out,
Leaving you with little more
than emptiness and doubt.
The fear that you will lose
yourself is foremost in your mind,
As once close feelings fade
and your heart becomes confined.
Your vision is obstructed as
you search for hint of light,
Your footing is uneasy as you
stumble in the night.
Courage you may find, if
you take
your fear and pray,
Trusting becomes difficult as
you know many will betray.
Sometimes you must take that
chance and offer one your hand,
And maybe then the fog will
lift and you will understand.

I look behind me and I see
that I am not alone.
For standing in my shadow
is a demon of my own.
I move my feet, I do the dance
that takes me far away.
And once again my destiny
is tempted not to stay.
I live the life and smile the
smiles
that all expect to see.
For if I get the hang of it,
life's partner I will be.
I run in place to leave the
dreams
that will not let me sleep.
And dance the dance of memories
that scar my soul so deep.
I try to hide from that dark
past
that haunts me as I wake,
For if I run quite fast enough,
the past I will forsake.
I have no choice but to dance
the dance life gives to me.
And should I dare to raise my
eyes,
I'm dancing with the demon I
will see.

There is a picture packed
away of a child of long ago.
I searched around a bit today
and found that child I know.
The face I saw within the
frame was innocently born,
But when I looked a second
time, it seemed so tired and worn.
The eyes were wide and staring
as the pain within bled through,
The mouth was set without a
smile as happy thoughts were few.
There should have been a look
of joy within a smiling face,
Instead there was the pain of
ages for this child held in disgrace.
I wanted to reach out and
touch this child that I had known,
But deep inside I knew her
fear and how greatly it had grown.
The sadness and confusion that
was hidden in her heart,
Was equaled only by the shame
that tore her soul apart.
How I wish this child could
heal and come out in the sun,
I'd love to see her run and
play and have a little fun.
If I could ever find a way to
lead her out from where she'd been,
Then I would know that on that
day, I'd finally reached my child within.

Your pain becomes part of
mine
As sure as the rain falls and
is absorbed by the earth.
My pain holds yours until it
swells and runs over
Eroding the surface of my
heart as it runs away.
Your fear invades mine,
As the thunder rumbles
throughout my soul,
And the lightening strikes
within my sanity
My fear becomes one with yours.
Your anger awakens mine,
As the storm ravages the land,
Unexpectedly removing all
hopes of safety,
My anger is born out of the
shattered fragments of yours.
Your loneliness touches the
center of my heart,
As a single blade of grass
left standing in the field,
Yielding not to the storm but
bending with the gentleness of your touch,
My loneliness yields not to
your anger but dissolves within your heart.
Your sadness calls to me,
As the cry of the bird after
the storm,
Searching for the nest that
no longer exists,
My sadness searches for the
solace of your soul.

Healing but gentle winds
guide me in flight's path..
Lift me, turn me swirl around
me..
Facing a new days dawning
light that warms my soul deep inside
Thy wings feel to grow with
the power of the evening breezes..
Let me stretch them soft yet
powerful and straight in winged repose
Let me feel and revel in the
peace I seek inside
Cast now all burdens aside and
feeling the freedom of the flight of
life..

Bitterness had crept in,
past the sleeping guard.
Into the throne room,
the center of it all.
The King was easily
dispatched,
bitterness now did rule.
Faithful subjects made to bow,
for bitterness ruled all.
Bitterness brought his
brother hate,
the strongest of them all.
And he taught the subjects to
dislike,
everything outside the walls.
The castle soon was overrun,
by bitterness, hate and fear.
The castle now in shambles,
it's end was very near.
The legends tell of a Hero,
from oh so long ago.
But could this brave Knight,
dispatch the evil within?

A soul is broken
torn up inside
can not see
past the lies.
A child damaged
the adult suffers
unseen wounds
from past abuse.
Can you heal
what is unseen
help the child
ease the pain?
Innocence taken
ripped away
the child that was
is not anymore.
Somewhere inside
the child still hides
waiting to come out
back into the light.

Ever teasing you come,
I know not why.
What is it you seek,
it can not be me.
For I am the shadow,
misty and insecure.
I want you to see me,
to know I am more.
Yet I still fear contact,
so I become the wall.
Invisible and silent,
quietly shedding tears.

I've shuttered the windows, barred the door.
This depleted shack, can stand no more.
The roof is leaking, the walls are black.
Once tall and proud, but now a shack.
Not safe anymore, foundation in pain.
Many years shielding, against wind and rain.
Tear it down, it's become a blight.
I'll not ruin, someone else's' sight.

As a Drifting snow flake
I lay awake
alone
cold as stone.
Restless slumber
distant thunder
surround
demons abound.
I go inside
safe to hide
behind walls
darkened halls.
No one here
I shed a tear
alone
walls o' stone.
