The blue blue sky failed me as my
gloom expanded the day
Through fields of colours
Red,green and yellow
My outlook still saw no
End

An end that needed me to live
Wanted me to love
Wished I'd turned the page
Read a different book

They say the fool of regret is a
life on the edge
My fall is long
This pain reflected in crimson eyes
That pierced only the souls of the
Broken few  

Rain I pray please show my mood
I need the noise to hide my solitude
Yet only the colour of the suns burns
this side
In my heart of hearts the hurt beats
Raw as I wallow in my own subtle
Sadness
Let me breath
Let me live
Live my life

Is my time near
In this ache I feel
My grey turned coat
All lined and creased
An age forgotten
Long time before
A past now gone
I walk the door

Is hair gone thin
A sign I'm past
All creaking bones
Brittle bashed
Teeth of gold
In eaten much
Welter weight
I'd love to run

Is clothes of shade
All brown and tan
My only chance
To join the clan
A stick to bash
Some purple rinse
I know I'm old
Let moan commence

I cry for an itch from your breath
Did my sigh inside give way
From the look into those chocolate eyes
I knew it was time

Once so long ago my mind used to
Sing
My heart used to beat to your
Look
For I am broken

My wings do not work
My view has gone stale
This world around be
Broken
I knew it was time

Do not turn when I shout
Nor run when I scream
For life has moved on
Now
I've lived in your dream

My feathers are ruffled
My love has gone south
For all of my loving
My whisper ..your mouth
My love

The deathly shadows waved as they flashed through
My headlights on their way to another steal
Another day ??
Another time maybe I thought ?
But turn me cold they did to form
Shivers so sharp my deadened eyes
Rasped against their brittleness
I hate the midnight call

This lack of rest was winning to my
Thoughts of a day all mine
Another call to the front
A sound ****** on my echoes around
The quiet room called home

For I am the collector and your soul
Is in my seek
My journey is to help you fight them
For they steal all your promises  
They eat at your want and relish at
Your need

Allow me to protect you till you move
Till the change is complete
Into your fade of this cold place  
Till you brave the land I know
Take my hand
Let me explain ....life

Here I lay
Numb
Cold
Bitter

Till the morn
Pain
Anger
Regret

From my mind
Fear
Hate
Love

Here I lay
Empty
Wasted
Life

There are many places in many times that mean no more
Than the spoken words before me
Yet here it lays before my heart this mountains subtle Grey
My convictions  
My life
My dreams

These decisions in me now regretted
Looked back
Harmful for my soul
Madness in my mind
Tears in my torture for I have failed

In my youth I was young ,fresh and free
No hill be my wall
No mountain face to fall
For I was ready and my grass grew a path
No mortal could devour

Then life bestowed me life
The sun fell and the clouds became cold
Dark
Hungry
My convicted soul now blackened from the scars
Of broken dreams

I could feel its tremor as this rock before me
Fell
Gone its stability
Crumbled
And like the thoughts in my mind
The pebbles washed away
Into the sea of the broken wings
As I became the lost

The deathly shadows casted a wave as they flashed through the burn of my headlights
On their way to another steal

Another day ?
Another time maybe?...
But turn me cold they did to form shivers
So sharp my deadened eyes rasped against their brittleness  
I hate the midnight call

This lack of rest was winning to my
Thought's of a day all mine
Yet on I must drive
For it is you that is in need
In need of these words
In need of my hands
For I am the healer and the shadows are waiting

They know all my work and despise my view
For I taketh the bad to bring light out from the dark
I am the healer
I am the one
The shadows are waiting

No payment to be crossed
No words from your lips
As my silence is your gift
So my work must continue  
The shadows are waiting

Dawn chorus wakes the morning light
To a relieve as I sigh  
The shadows are hiding and my work
is not done
Tears flow as I fall to my knees
Earth has taken its feed
Let the shadows wait
