When I have fears of eternal darkness

And an unrelenting light beckons forth

Hands that grasp your soul with bitter sharpness

Evoking terror and grave dreams henceforth

Sitting alone by firelight in cold sweat

Shivering, shaking and contemplating

Your mind, back and forth in a cruel duet

Mystified, distressed and deprecating

The deepest desires rise and then are gone

Leaving a wounded spirit so shattered

No hope for resolution at sweet dawn

Your ambition’s remnants lay tattered

We all run from shadows to fleeting light

Escaping the tormenting quiet of night

"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."
