Tears have shattered my existence

Lies have torn away the truth of my wits

The everlasting howling of my sanity forever shines it lesson

Breathe

I opened my eyes

The beauty of nature steals my awareness

Only love can save me now

Yet the haunted willow shames me with consequences

While the benevolent owl nestles above and observes my creations

The words unspoken slowly begin to carve into the tree

Darkness is the light, forever guiding my pain

I tremble as I bleed love into my sorrow

The darkness begins to fade

Only through the darkness have I found illumination

For in the existence of hate, lies the creation of love
