In the Shadowland
In The Shadowland
In the Shadowland , where heartache and sorrow reign supreme,
"darkness of pain" marches in ever gloomy fields
with misery galloping and splashing in widely tragic streams
blues stirring the worries to ever increase their yields!
Sadness sings it's stampeding herd of very desperate woes,
"pangs of loss" dancing in the dark forests so very deep
stomping with glee all yet "untouched" fingers and toes
where solace, healing and recovery so soundly sleeps!
In the Shadowland, where loneliness and desperation screams,
"evils of hate" invade and torment a ill-hurting mind
shady little dark spirits cut away restful little dreams
tiny blades slicing up everything so peaceful and kind!

This is a rewrite from a poem I wrote back in the 80's.
A bit shorter as rewritten and not an exact replication but
my memory at 60 lags a tad. This was the results from having
gone through a brutal divorce.
