in the pain of this wilderness.
how did i get here;
to this dark place of seclusion?
fear, loneliness, and anguish
are the foxes of my night.
marring truth while shredding life
maliciously they conquer
the allegiance within.
i once lay peacefully
under the shade of your tree
delight was ours
lovesick affections
spilled forth.
the days are fierce
silent cold relentlessly whips
during this bitter, lonely winter.
deep cries out to deep
where has my lover gone?
have you seen the one
my heart loves?
shadows so black
tears of sorrow rush forth.
far off the faintest voice
a soft, whispering bid
arise and come.
until the day breaks
and the shadows flee
i will go.
reaching through the
midnight deep
desperation longs to touch
the hope of dawn.
