quiet roads abound
through silent beauty all around
beneath the stars and moon
shadows dance and swoon
wildscapes stretching far and wide
from scorching desert to flowing tide
beside forests standing tall
changing to bright hues come fall

mountains sink into rugged deserts
deserts changing to beautiful plains
plains growing to mighty forests
forests turning to proud mountains
circle start to circle end
one giant cycle of life

as dark is to light
and day to night
surrounded by so much wonder
thieves can't plunder

such freedom unable to be retained
the wilds so feral can't be tamed

Who can claim to know me
when i know not what i be?
Born in shadows living in light
where can i find my one delight?
Lost found and lost again
hunting seeking searching for some small gain

Lone i am though surounded i be
wondering a vast hall
with many levels hidden by all

lost and afraid
alone and frayed

I know not who i am
but for all before me
what can i be?

cast aside no better than a doll
trying as i might still bound to fall

a ghost i feel
being slicker than an eel

try as i may
my all do i give
time for the heart to be bared
in hopes by all to be spared

whispers and lies
minds let rise
small things they be
yet more damaging be
than a blade tearing
where can there be hope?
a voice to counter the little things
threatening to tear asunder
all that you are
and are to become
loneliness counters praise
insecurity removes wits
fear paralizes body and strengh
shadows tear at the light
unaware of hidden champions
love to counter fear
peace to clear insecurity's haze
and friends to help keep loneliness away

they are few and not many can give them
but to find those that can stem
darkness's power
look to those that stand beside you
also weathering darkness's might
with power of light

lost and alone
deep into the seas unknown

hurt and strife
seeks to end a life

not knowing where to go
or even friend from foe

all you want to do is hide
and try to keep your pride
