Desolation
Out to the pastures I'd go each morn
Plow the field and sow my seed
Optimistic and not yet scorn
This hollow heart an easy read
Each day'd go by, no crop would sprout
The soul can't live with what's without.
Day to dark my callus crept
Drowned In dreams the demons slept
Concealed by night the tears I wept
A soul out of rhythm, heartstrings out of tune
Tug on my emotions I'll be sure to swoon.
Leaves turn stale, the air crisp
No harvest this season, not a wisp
Bitter cold has swept in swift
My heavy heart set adrift
Starvation's knocking at the door
Perhaps loves lost forevermore.
Flowers bloom, a bird sings
From deaths doom new life springs
The fields are lush, oh so green
Fertile soil, a grousome scene
Someone new spreads their seed
A corpse lies beneath, finally freed.
