As despair weaves a cocoon around my shadow <br />Alas, alone am I with my despair. <br />I had waited for these clouds to lift I had prayed <br />For these storms to cease <br />These deities I had tried to appease <br /> <br />By various diverse means; the day remained grey <br />The clouds did not move away. <br /> <br />Alas alone am I, and I tired, of constant <br />Conflictual battle; I do not have the necessary <br />Tools to open up wisdom's door; <br />Do not have the fierce strength to do that anymore. <br /> <br />There are cobwebs in my nightmares, <br />The night is peopled by strange shades; <br />Alas, alone am I, almost merging with the shadows <br /> <br />Dawn will come, I will walk in thy meadows. <br /> <br />Copyright: Rani Turton<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alas-alone-am-i/
