The Monster Who Comforts Me

I look upon these silhouettes; of night trees
Dark delineation is the monster who comforts me
As my haunting sorrows swayed in the breeze
I warned them of being wracked with disease 
On a calm night when they're still
Words of rage make me think I have skill
Shaking hands chop against their will
And when my mind has had its fill
I close this world down like it's a sill
Just to wake up in the morning, ill
Wondering how to sift the chips; 
to pay for the dregs within my quill.

Thank you! It's always sad when you have to chop down a diseased tree. But these are words I needed to write. Big hugs for the fav. Warmly A.S.
