Shady's Poem, a Poem Dedicated To My Dog, Not Quite Finished

The night sky is lit up by stars
One by one each flickers away
One by one each love is dead
Until the sky is black and gone

One bright star is all that remains
I reach for the light
but it pulls away
and flickers just the same

Let me fall; so it can rise
Let me dullen; so it can shine

I pray with all my heart
I cry with all my tears
I work until I sweat
Just to save that last star in my sky

What Hopes

what hopes
what dreams
lie left of the pieces
burned in a fire
and buried under an icy coat of snow?

what hopes
what dreams
are left in the human heart 
as the blood pours to the ground?

what hopes
what dreams
persist in the soul
as it crumbles in the hands of another?

out of some joy
some dark joy
lies the death of hopes and dreams
stoked into a thousand embers of fiery tears

what hopes
what dreams
lie left as their charred remains are thrown into an icy grave?
