Alas Alone Am I : Poem

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