Out of the Abyss
I call out into the abyss
- No reply to my query
Quietly, there is no bliss
- Though I feel leery
My mind questions often
- But to no avail
Imaginary blows do not soften
- My mind doth but trail
To the dark hole
- Going to nowhere
Lost in the dark
- What do I dare?
To move, to leave
- Seeking the light
Why should I grieve?
- Give up the fight
There is no battle left
- Combating my illusions
Bemusing the theft
- And drawing my own conclusions
