Peaceful days
Wasted ways
Chained and vain
A marred life filled with stains

The bleeding edge
A shallow ledge
A sturdy wedge
A stable stage
The final cage


Stars dancing
Hands clamping
Sweat dripping
Energy dipping
Life slipping
The night’s setting

A new day
For new ways
A better stay
More peaceful plays
A clearer pathway
A more fulfilling gateway
