A beacon in the darkened sky,
A guiding light in the midnight hour.
On this road I journey forth,
Standing tall as darkness cowers.
The moonlight shines its light so bright,
Piercing through the clouds above.
Illuminated path at night,
My back is turned to a land once loved.
I journey on through the hills and seas
I walk alone in the midnight breeze
Through darkened fields and forest trees
The pale moonlight guiding me.
A beacon in the darkened sky,
A guiding light in the midnight hour.
On this road I journey forth,
Standing tall as darkness cowers.
Journey’s end is growing near,
Approaching now a daunting tower.
Through its door I disappear,
And leave behind a world devoured.
I journey on through the hills and seas
I walk alone in the midnight breeze
Through darkened fields and forest trees
The pale moonlight guiding me.
Author’s Note:
I tried something different here. What is it? I don’t really know. I just wanted something less depressing, and bit more “adventurous” in a sense.
What do you think?

I write some of mine this way too for the same reasons. It’s almost like a personal transformation that occurs between beginning and end.
