Walking in the solitude of nights simple song
Desperately awaiting homes safety and comfort inside
Thoughts of a day that graciously has gone
Returning back to sanctuary to lock in and hide
Darkness befell the weary traveler's journey
Quickly and savagely falling upon the pour soul's road
To scream, a goal with no possible end in sight for thee
In an instant falling into a weak and quiet mode
Pressure slowing the pumping nectar of life
Dimmed the lights into the abyss
Tensions thickening, cutable with a knife
Feeling the subtle hint of fate's sinister kiss
Stuck inside, tightly stowed and unable to scream out
Eyes darting fruitlessly around
A circumstance more dire, a serious doubt
Were there a way one would ever be found
Whimpers of confined prey amuse the predator to delight
Hearing the sounds of the outside disipate
Now way to run and no room to fight
For death, one can only sit and wait
Hearing the impacts one after the other, hit after hit
Knowing the reality that awaits when it's done
Already, the air goes thin as the missing begins to feel it
They've already enjyed their last day in the sun

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
