All Alone I Stand
All Alone I Stand
Dark, dreadful,
Deep and Deceptive is the night,
In the wilderness I stand
With a fear of those
Inhabiting the wild.
Dark and gloomy is the sky and path ahead,
Destroying hopes is the darkness,
And, deceiving both mind and heart!
Is the sense of direction way night.
The shivering of leaves,
The cold wind blowing along my
Cheeks,
Both bringing the fears of night,
Creepy shadows,
Puddles shallow,
Path narrow,
Yet I try to seek some light,
In the wilderness I strive.
Complete silence, not a soul around,
Not a sound of any creature
And no path laid by a human,
Amongst the trees I stand
Lost from my kind,
I know now for sure,
All my friends, foes and acquaintances close,
Just left me behind alone.
My only companion in this night
Is the moon and its light,
I am alert
I am ready
Waiting to face any of nature’s difficult testimony…!
All alone I stand,
Myself with courage and waiting for
Down to triumph the
Deceptive dark.
