The Darkness

Deep within the darkness, Somewhere inside of me, Spirits made of stardust Not ever to be free. Voices less emotion, Bodies without form, Echos from a slumber, Never to be born. Hidden in the emptiness Left squandered by a sigh, Then buried in the memories Of twisted days gone by. Softly, silence seals the lips Of hunger's sad reprise... To leave a calm tomorrow Filled with wisdom's noble lies.
