Follow the Path
And there you'll find
Secrets hidden among your wrath,
Secrets hidden among your mind.
One is shrouded in darkness,
A pitch black void.
It leaves you feeling emotionless
And feeling destroyed.
The other is full of light
Shining brightly, but hard to reach.
It sits there quietly, out of mind and out of sight
Awaiting the moment it can be unleashed.
Follow that path toward happiness or sin.
Both lead to an adventure you wouldn't intend.
Showing where you're going and where you've been
But neither will show the journey's end.
The Flickering Flame
Oh, to be a flickering flame
Swaying from side to side,
Performing your rhythmic dance,
You have nothing to hide.
Through darkness,
You shine your sweet light,
Freeing the broken
And revealing what is right.
You smile wide
With much to discuss
Only to be snuffed out
With a simple hush.
Hidden Behind the Fog
A thick fog clouded the world outside my window.
A few dark silhouetted trees in view.
Everything else, invisible behind that white light.
A world unable to be seen,
What lays beyond that mysterious glaze
And her ghostly hue?
Could it be a world of vibrant color and joy?
A world of wonder and merriment?
Is that land hidden beyond those trees and fog
Secretly a haven of beautiful delight?
Is her splendor waiting to be revealed for all to see,
Only a few steps away from being admired by those around her?
Or is the world, hidden behind that wall of light, a nightmare
Full of dark dreams and hatred?
Is her potential covered by vines and thorns
Keeping those who enter from returning to those they love?
Do those dark leafless trees show the world's true nature,
Warning those who dare to venture to turn around and never return?
Who are we to know if we don't take those initial steps?
If we don't explore her mystery, then we are only filled with regret.
She may be filled with darkness and sorrow,
Masked behind her blanket for comfort
Or she could be filled with enlightenment and happiness,
Awaiting our curious gazes into her bright light.
Hunter & Prey
Watching with a piercing gaze, The hunter hides behind their mask. Guarded by a thick haze, Awaiting their next attack.
The hero, Caught in the ocean of her desire, Does not know of the lurking shadow Threatening her empire.
Suddenly dragged deeper into the abyss of her own creation, The darkness engulfs its prey. With empty promises of sweet temptations, Truth is lifetimes away.
