Fields Forever

Until the end, I fight I fight until the light is no more and the perilous night does begin & when my day is gone & future masked I climb my mountain with head hanging low Low for now, I killed and desecrated all held sacred Slain the last foe & as the day breaks again I gaze at fields of red fury Fury misunderstood all dead to understand Mountains ahead and behind, in this valley of Presence. Engulfed by injustice and punished In personal strife, I cry, not out but in I cry to hear inside, inside where I've tried to hide and defend on this field of red with no more to hide & more to hide from. I perch on this mountain I've made & expose myself to all, with none to tell I'm free, lost to live, lost to die Never to love, never to fly. Only wallow for It turns to night and shadows comfort me my friends Till the end
