The music fills her heart with sudden peace.
She knows the sun is far beneath the hills.
Malignant is the night, a late due lease
upon the hearts of all the souls it kills.

The wind howls at the moon and rain falls down.
It calls the minds of all the sudden raged.
She hopes the music brings the sun around
and lights the world upon her empty page.

The laughter and the joy come to a rest
as the moon makes its way across the sky.
Night is mercy as cruel as evil tests
which rid the weak and make the stronger cry.

We cannot escape the eerie, dark night,
but merely wait until the morning light.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
