Darkness surrounds me
An absence of light
A place of refuge to contemplate my musings on the world
What do you do when your world caves in
And the shovel has broken
And your mind has stopped working
The soul remains and nourished the spirit within
In the dark you can make plans on a grand scale
A dramatic resurgence of the soul
Confidence surges through your veins
You are ready to take on the world
And build a brighter future
But no sooner has the idea popped into your mind
Than the doubts begin
Can you carry off this grand gesture
And astonish and amaze those around you
Filling with pride those around you
All the groundwork providing a firm foundation to build on
But the pressure is all too great
Better off simply dreaming in the dark
Let the world get by without you
I will lie in the darkness close by the fire
Which will comfort my soul
As my body slowly fades away
And all the dreams have turned to dust
A trail of broken dreams lies behind me
Laying next to a thousand broken hearts
A trail of destruction leaves its mark
Even when you build nothing of your own
The destruction is there for all to see
Broken bones and hot ashes
Mark the spot where hope once flourished
Let the burial begin
