walking in quiet lonesome solitude
the shrill of empty space
deafens the gentlest soul
weaving through the solitary moments
the echoing roar of destiny
consumes the heart whole
rambling on and on with hope eternal
the soft hushed whispers of fate
tease the present to finally reveal
hobbling on between dread and torment
the truth of this heart’s raw desire
is to stand naked and unabashed
and to never hide again in the shadows
and
to never feel again the need to conceal
