The light is gone,
Words fall on swords;
All pawns are cleared,
Those we feared wake,
Revered now for our own sake.
Who among us
Would suspect,
Discuss; decide-
We died that day
Inside the womb where dreams play.
That endless night,
Makes low-light loud,
And sight fleeting,
Retreating, black,
Seeking there the light we lack.
Let’s not talk tonight,
Keep thoughts out of sight,
For once
Freed upon the night,
Sanity takes flight,
Left dunce
We struggle and fight,
Yet can find no light,
Bare sconce
Upon barren wall,
Where the shadows brawl,
He sees
Empires rise and fall,
Heroes great and small,
Time seized
To a careful crawl,
If the mortal call,
So please
Grow Gray With Me
