Deep within the darkness
I lay staring at the sky
With nothing but emptiness
And of defeaning silence's cry
Into these hollow walls, I stay
Awake from the unending nights
From the quiet tavern, I pray
For my soul to take flight
The birds I've heard years ago
To the sunrise that casts at dawn
Here I am away from the echo
Of the living; I'm left all alone
This is my cave, my home
For years I waited on a throne
With nothing else, from sight
Just my darkness, my only light

Deep within the darkness
I lay staring at the sky
With nothing but emptiness
And of defeaning silence's cry
Into these hollow walls, I stay
Awake from the unending nights
From the quiet tavern, I pray
For my soul to take flight
The birds I've heard years ago
To the sunrise that casts at dawn
Here I am away from the echo
Of the living; I'm left all alone
This is my cave, my home
For years I waited on a throne
With nothing else, from sight
Just my darkness, my only light
I was feeling all trapped these past few months; trapped within the cards I've laid out myself. Sympathizing with a character from a book which I think completely reflected me was what this poem brought along. This poem is heavily inspired by Mitch Albom's Time Keeper protagonist: Dor.
