"The darkened sky stole my tears" Leaving me empty of ebony despair Fears fall like amber autumn leaves Bravery is braided in my somber soul Whispers of denim denial from Cursed child serve as warning Lunge forward or sink in the earth Food only for beasts and worms Or be a light despite fright Turn into the brightest energy Conjuring courage and yellow hope Planted by seeds of misfortune Tears stolen by sky so dark Inspiring melodic song of lark Moon and sun shine in heart Poem in eyes as spiritual art
