 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Lost in the shadows


The wind that now blows, so full of malice
the coldness within reaches into my bones
spreading a chill that will last till forever
leaving nothing of any warmth I had known
for the sunrise has set, now only the darkness
covers the landscape where only shadows remain
nothing of truth will once more be spoken
only hope of redemption will lessen the pain.

Lost thoughts once cherished now barely a memory
the darkness captured of all that I cared
and left me with shadows, dancing in silence
searching for something, someone or somewhere
the wind that now blows brings closer my destiny
my hopes and my dreams had long ago died
only a shadow remains of the man I used to be
lost in the darkness instead of the light.
