Forelorn
So what is this judgement that you seek to pass? Invisible world, unheard of, unseen. Only spoken and written--legacy of a man. Thirteen years ripped out. Thirteen. Twelve of them were yours, one turned on you. So they speak of you like a legend,...
My Shining Light
You were the light shining bright in the night sky, Leading me home where I belonged. But I started to go blind. I got scared and the more I fought the dark away, The less I could see you. Now I sit here, cold and surrounded by fear. I still...
A Dolomite Verse
**a dolomite verse** **by brett** near a mountainside, below in the shade a village waits in an emerald glade. with hills rolling green and tall church spire lie aspens of gold, their branches afire.
Verses to Auran
I look at the mirror: what do I see? I see myself, an ordinary boy Average height, slim, brown eyes, short hair and beard. I inhale deeply and close my eyes: what do I feel? I feel my fingers twitch in trepidation As a breath of wind passes and...
I Do Not Fear A Season Without Hope
