Arisen

Dashed upon the rocks of hope

and stranded by the waves

clinging desperately as the wind howls down

calling out my name

 

Oh how I need you now

in this timely hour

as the sun doth settles down

light begins to fade

 

The cold it creeps in slowly

loneliness indeed invades

insidiously replacing love

leaving hatred in its wake

 

I shall not become its victim

no. not again this time

crawling at a snails pace

it will not see me trying

 

At last I rise and strike a blow

for no longer am I blind

blind to the madness

which fights to poison the mind

 

Arisen I shall never bow

or break with the wind

arisen I shall take my place

at the helm again
