Hope Again My Friend

Hope Again My Friend

warm blankets fly away
 glowing pixie wings shatter
 the compulsion destroys everything
 charging in like a wild bull

 let loose into the arena to face death
 past the leering crowds
 Run ! Run ! Run !
 Rise in the night

 alone
 unable to fathom the incinerated heart
 where is there to run
 who is there for comfort

 lie down in a shallow pool in the
 darkest of night
 the white gown and dirty braided bindings
 emitting the only light

 which slowly dissipates from within
 he has come to watch on his steed
 does contentedness engulf him ?
