troublegal05 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Wake your soul to the dark of night, your eyes have widened to the light of your worries Your cries can be heard by saints; turned to bitter tears of salt softening your glow to pitiful lies Turn to your song bird for answers, your head rests to dust Write your fears to fire for the claw of the raven perches its fate upon your epitaph He waits for death to deal you an escape, While you steal the last of your youth from the smell of a rose Look to the sky and say goodbye to the years faded on and slowly fall onto winter...

Shadows Light Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Wake your soul to the dark of night, your eyes have widened to the light of your worries Your cries can be heard by saints; turned to bitter tears of salt softening your glow to pitiful lies Turn to your song bird for answers, your head rests to dust Write your fears to fire for the claw of the raven perches its fate upon your epitaph He waits for death to deal you an escape, While you steal the last of your youth from the smell of a rose Look to the sky and say goodbye to the years faded on and slowly fall onto winter... Thank-you...this hits a special chord for me. I filed for Divorce in October. According to the old beliefs October is the time of change, the death of the old year and the beginning of the new year. But before anything new can be reborn, such as a PHOENIX from its ashes.... pain and suffering takes place. Your poem strikes a chord because I've spent my winter shedding bitter tears of time mispent... wasted youth. Looking for an escape now. And yes, listening to the lies lies lies spouting from the dragons mouth...feeding my tears. That only the angels could hear in the deep of the night. Thank-you. They say that when the student is ready the teacher comes... and the teacher comes in many forms...young, old...or written word. I believe your poetry speaks to me and validates my feelings.
