Sky of shadowily grey casting its lights of amber rays,
as the stillness of the night fades into the bustling dawn,
where some of us will be the hunters while others prey,
for each day we choose the path of the tiger or the fawn.

Life is but a mystery of human thoughts and desires,
as society strives for peacefulness and some go astray,
where our passion intensifies and increases the fire,
for lust entwined in love and greed confuses the way.

Heart enchanted pierced with a trouble darken thought,
as the spirit moves with compassion toward the light,
where we crave for a loving touch that can’t be bought,
for life is like day which fades in time to the dim night.

Fragile beings wandering without a clue upon the earth,
as we meaninglessly search afar for ventures to behold,
where history it seems has failed to teach us since birth,
for the spirit is weak when confronted by evil so bold.

Nature’s mystic secrets blossom forth at simplicity’s will,
as child like innocence embraces the legendary eternal key,
where we harbor deceptive thoughts for a momentary thrill,
for in life sadly it’s always me, instead of heartfelt thee.
