Spinning a web of lies
What is your disguise?
We all have something to hide
Life left you dissatisfied?
And mortified?
Did you fall off by the wayside?
Did I hurt your pride?
Look inside
To your web of lies

When all hope is lost
And your money is dwindling
And your ship is sinking
An angel sent pennies from heaven
It came as a blessing
To end my stressing
To teach me a life lesson, I reckon
Giving me a new direction
To stop the regression and
End my depression

Gaze upon the tear drops of radiant light
Slicing across the edge of darkness
Scattered shimmering stars of the night
Detonating hope through the ages

Though darkness devour such great chunks
It proves the existence of every glow
For without the embracing darkness
There's never been light in every shadow

Darkness is not an opponent but an unforgiven
In the garden where light is dimmer
It's where fireflies glow from a blind secret
The darker it gets the brighter they shimmer

Darkness is a forgotten friend,
A forgotten beloved
A forgotten master

My decisions grow, as moss grows. Slow, slow and unseen between the green-green of expected. My decisions grow, as moss grows. Quietly wild. Shallow threads clutched tight at the sheerness of possible- drinking light from the dark in order to thrive.

My decisions grow, as moss grows. Slow, slow and unseen. No branches, no forks, no watch-wait-and-see, just spores caught on a breeze when I need them.

He stopped at her rose garden to explore
Beckoning rose petals awed of colorful lore
With pillow eyes so soft
He's invited into her loft
She raced fast as he kept banging at her door
