Night Descends

NIGHT DESCENDS

 

As night descends the darkness takes hold

It is time to be strong and bold.

Running from the demons, hiding from the devil

Thoughts go round and round spiralling down to the ground.

The merry-go-round of life

Retracing steps, backing away from strife

Entering into cul-de-sacs, taking the heat

On the one way street

The power of thoughts jumbling altogether

Like the forecast and rainy weather

Chasing the clouds and finding the sun

Looking and watching out for everyone.

Is there an answer, a solution to be found

Amongst the incessant clamouring on the ground?

Rising up from the depths of despair

Wondering how we ever got there.

Reaching out for help not forthcoming

Is it all preordained by those more cunning?

Take a step back and stop and listen to try and hear

What the spirits and angels are whispering to you my dear.

Open your heart and mind and learn

You don't have to twist and turn

Make your own waves and furrows

And enjoy all your tomorrows.

Live your life to the full

Stop taking the bull

Love and kindness is all around you

Accept those who dip in to it like a pot of fondue

You may not know until you are gone

Nobody will remember you in a song

But in their hearts and minds

You were always one of a kind.
