The Hidden Night

It uttered 
From a depth
Groaning souls
That death could not take a nap
It gave a rattle
Grinding away to the sudden thunder
With so much asunder 
We were left to wonder
Battling the slopes
Thus wringing limbs for hope
With the wheels 
Off the cart
It became a dreary life
Saddled with deadly hopes

Surfing in an ethereal realm 
Pausing To phase away
Life’s strains
Creased across ones brows
We juggle 
Bile for every bite
Clenching fists 
While gnashing teeth
We settled in a puddle of tears
Wretched out 
With much draining 
We slowly drift off 
Into an ocean of tears
