A Dark Place

I wrote this while going through a rough time a work.

DARK PLACE

There is a dark place in the soul
New death brings new life
A child dreams a man's nightmares
Lights shine to make shadows

Calling out to deaf ears in empty rooms
Echoes of the soul on the walls of the heart
Reaching for something consumed by nothing
Walking down roads where somewhere is not a destination

Traps spring in the mind giving ways out
Doors open to enter prison cells
Send someone for help to bring back the enemy
Flip for us the coin of salvation or damnation

Falling up, we stand as we lay
Night steals our sight as the lights blind
The cold of the world burns the soul
Happy endings lead to tears

“Such is life”
