This night begins late afternoon,
Dusk comes with the rise of the Moon's lust
To shine on all the fools that put themselves to rest,
It makes me sad, they should have tried their best
But many are afraid to fly in case they fall out of the nest
The life of a rider has no rewards, just heartbreak and anger
Pain takes over all your pleasure, Anger leaves your life in danger
Thoughts of revenge flow through you, but for no explained reason
You see an enemy, but all are in the same change of season
To accept this reality is no less than a personal treason
The fight for life is not so much physical as it is mental
It is something fought for until its reached full potential
When all dreams and fantasies retire and reality is exponential
For life is not just a simple war
Nor a game in which we always win with a high score
No more resistance between us, travel the bridge of this distance
Take an account of your sum, find out if what you thought was right is wrong
Listen again to the night within, ease back into the stone slab bin
Strive into the fight, let nothing falter your way
For as the night melts away, you learn to live just one more day. _________________ StarGazer
Very nice write. Everyone has times in their lives when they live in darkness and despair. Sometimes they reach the light on their own and other times someone holds the torch for them.
I enjoyed reading this

Beth,
I enjoyed reading this too.
As Eire said, we've all been there a time or two...I think that living through the dark times gives us the ability to appreciate the times of light and happiness. Without the dark, what would the light be? Ordinary.
Thanks for sharing this, and the other work I saw, I like your writing style.
Hugs,
