Shades

Let the fog roll in
A thick gray blanket
uncomfortable in it’s silence
When light dissolves
and the world fades
to indistinct shadows
While cool, sweet mist
increases the searing pain
of a parched soul
Darkness strengthens
the quiet desolation
of inner isolation
Where only his thoughts
keep him sane

Dont wake the dead,
Wake the dying,
Don't change what you've said,

A great and simple work. I really enjoyed it.

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."
