It's Been A Long Couple Of Weeks.

.....Depending on the viewpoint this is somewhat on the depressing side of things. But the past couple of weeks have been challenging. Heck, the past couple of months have been challenging. I'm looking forward to some down time.

A fearsome creature loneliness can be.
The sadness he sheds leaves a fiendish mark.
It was down pathways that one cannot see,
A prowling wolf is the wraith's ally dark.

The shroud surrounds me as a prison cell.
It smothers all sound as a jealous thief.
A bodiless spirit with hunger fell,
Will crush the soul as a fall withered leaf.

When all seems lost and the road leads to doom.
Emerging from the dark to light my way,
Hopes tidings chase the echoes of the tomb.
Her eyes shine forth with the heat of the day.

A companion of love is fear's worst foe.
A gift we willingly must tend and sow.
