Walk of Men

Poem<3

Them dark eyes that embrace the night.

Reflecting in sections cortets of light. 

Bringing to life what others may hide. 

Being a friend to the wounded that fight.

Power to guide but too weak to lead. 

Running from problems that never leave.

Potential is seen, but his fears grow weeds. 

Birthed from memories that can't concede

Dresses in shadows but carries the sun.

Running from fears his mind can't numb. 

Recollections of truama he can't out run. 

Reminded again of what can't be undone 

He looks above but fails amongst man.

He's not perfect but some misunderstand. 

He's wounded from regret, tries but can't. 

He's stumbling in sin, in this wicked land

He is a hell that walks amongst the angels. 

Hiding his sorrow even though it's painful.

They look for him to lead; He feels unable.

Still dying to his mind; Thoughts unstable

Be the light others can't show, Be the water to the ones who can't grow, Be the friend others wish to know. Don't lose yourself to pain because it might never let go. 031
