Poetic Expression: Round 2

Here Again

Tranquility abounds yet again, as darkness reigns supreme
Light and life has long since laid its head to rest
Here in the silence my demon lays in wait
When all other voices grow faint, there remains a whisper
A crier of a battle fought with each rise of the moon
Past failures rear their ugly head

Fear, the chief enemy of my soul, has arrived
His friends Regret and Despair are not far behind
Their plan to conquer the weary warrior has been hatched
They know not the state of the heart they seek to destroy
The man standing there is no longer a boy
The warrior waits, still protecting his joy

Strength unknown and unseen fills the man here today
His eyes turn to sky as a path lights his way
Down the road he still travels, for as long as he may
