Restless Hunger

I was driven 
By a restless hunger
With an overpowering need 

A voice from the
Shadows was reaching
Out to me..

My thoughts became
Empty
So 'I could listen

With  each heartbeat
The sound of one
Screaming all around 

Broken memories
This is what 'I found
Cold dark shadow 

Standing beneath a tree
A strange force
That dropped me

 to my knees 
Have you ever 
Wonder What's in 

The shadows of 
The trees..
