I stand alone
the night calls,
The mist is rising
Darkness falls..
As the world ignores
the desperate moan
The demons thrive
I stand alone
Battled and betrayed
Hope all but gone
Bruised and scared
I am undone
Used and abused
for someone's gain
Never minding
My constant Pain
The battle is raging
The war not won
I stand alone
I am undone
@Shauni
emerging from the
depths of despair
an ever increasing climb
plodding forth
the eternal stairs
one single step at a time
each moment bringing
a flicker of light
to the never ending darkness
each challenge won
a triumph indeed
a sign of weakness undone
no promise of tomorrow
rather a hope for today
the task not to finish
but to continue
God's miracles coming
not in the grand gestures
but the signs of life
along the way
the rewards coming
in the single joy
of focusing on another
the struggle is tiring
the spirit flounders
yet with the end of each day
a flicker of hope
shines through..
the darkness brightens
the dawn awaits..

there are times
when we rejoice
in the light
we revel in the dance
we needn't dream
because the dream is now
then there are times
when life just wins
when the world closes
in around us
when we feel alone
and abandoned
there are times when
money is tight
food is short
and hope is sparse
there are times
when dreaming of
walking away
is the sole reason
for dreaming at all
it is in these times
when you discover
what you are
where you belong
and what love is
