The darkness of our passions- Like stormcloud covered skies- Mask all hope of happiness- A tapestry of lies… Pain can be so bitter- Or addictive in it’s turn, While ones dreams oft turn to nightmares With their agonizing burn. Can a loser change his fortune? Can an introvert unfold? Can the coward change his colors? A craven become bold? Can the lost one find a haven? Or the vagabond a home? The choice is up to you, friend- Embrace life, or die alone. |

Sounds like a ballad that could be set to music...do you write music? Hope to hear this sung at the Grand Old Opry because it has such a great message. Thanks for sharing your work! Bridget |

But sing a song of lonesome and whistle up a storm there’s nothing here to hold me and the night is safe and warm Somewhere the cattle gather in the rising of the moon somewhere a coyote hollers and I miss that outlaw tune You can love this noisy city and tell me that I’m blind but I’d take that trail tomorrow and leave you all behind if my feet could only ramble the way they did in youth if these old bones could stand the gamble I’d be gone, and that’s the truth.

This would make a good country western song. Maybe you have something here. Ida |
