Gigantic Dark Trees

Gigantic Dark Trees Gigantic dark trees were in my stoney path I cut them down, inviting the coming wrath Fears rest in the shadows awaiting many turns hope only leaps forth as spirit's fires burn I raced into time with destination unknown later discovering my soul had never grown Wasting life with vigor so foolishly unsound true happiness having never ever been found Then light gave cause to seriously rethink death comes quickly, often in a mere blink Perhaps give this new journey a good try just race eagerly forward without asking why Faith became the victory not even then known Defeated, far away, the enemy had rapidly flown Robert J.
