There is this place

Where my demons hide

all the worlds sadness

And pain collide

Screaming whispers

From this holy hell

Tortured souls

And spirits dwell

In mindless silence

I burn alive

echoes of hate

Love can’t survive

Anxiety ridden

I search for escape

All around me

Emptiness gapes

I wake from this nightmare

The sunshine blinds

the fog lingers over

The memory unwinds

Where is the place?

Where my demons hide?

It’s the place we live

It’s humankind

Ripple Raine

Silver hair

Lined face

Youthfulness

Time has displaced

Years gone by

Children all grown

Left the nest

Off to roam

What is this time?

This newfound place?

50 years gone by

Like a blip in space

What to do?

But create

Waking up with wings

Flying into fate
