Ashen Skies
beneath ashen skies i walk on
though the shadows of darkened days
where in life's game i am the pawn
moving about within its haze
i shift about as if strided
beneath ashen skies i walk on
in shallow steps my feet guided
towards the depths of unlit dawn
with clouded masks and tears now drawn
i steadily trudge through this mist
beneath ashen skies i walk on
towards death somewhere in its midst
yet as i start to fall off course
my strength within tells death be gone
then guides me with an unseen force
beneath ashen skies i walk on
