Dark Path

In the cold darkness of the night looking to black sky and the stars so bright Reds and gold’s and blues and whites and bright shining moon high overhead darkness is silent cold and hard the heart lies empty of all desire of the day the before us lies wanting desperately to turn away black hard road does straightly lie going too quickly across the land once again to where we would not be of empty longing in another day calling to me as sirens song of another path the curves away to travel to a happier place of memories warm long before my will is weak to temptations call longing memories within me call to the things from long ago happier times long lost to me hard is life and the needs there of the pulls me away from where I would be holding to the hard straight path going on into the cold dark night
