Tears' Fountain: Sanctuary III - Page 4

I stand blind in darkness
I can see nothing, nothing at all
Or is there more than nothing to see?
Is there anything in this dark world?
I do not know, I cannot see
Anything, everything, all is obscured
I strain my eyes, yet all stays the same
As before - nothing
Nothing
Suddenly, a spark appears
A light! It grows, it shines
Warming eyes long unused
A friendly light, it makes
The darkness around it seem less
Then suddenly, the light disappears
The darkness closes in
Malevolent, oppressive, nothingness
I strain my eyes, I look for the light
It is gone, it won't come back
Then it strikes me, why am I waiting?
I reach out my hand, and the darkness retreats
A light grows there, weak at first
But growing stronger, unwavering
As my confidence grows
The darkness is now
No more than that
Simply a place where the light does not reach
Do not wait for a light in the darkness
Make your own light shine for you

Ye gods, I'm beginning to feel like poetry is coming out of my ears!

I stand in an empty gray world
All is dead, all is gone
No life, no song or laughter here
No sunshine and no nightfall
Even the sky is a flat gray
Muffling sounds, killing emotion
I stand there, time does not pass
There is nothing, nothing here
Then a spark appears from grayness
Grows, bringing warmth and light
To a cold and empty world
It shines, it glows in many colors
Sparkling, whizzing through the air
I stare at this thing in wonder
As it dances, whirls and spins
Bringing hope to hopelessness
Bringing color to the grayness
I cannot help it, I reach out
To touch the light
A voice inside me tells me no
Yet I do not listen
As my fingers touch the spirit
It seems to pop it disappears
Leaving a faint cry
swallowed by the gray sky
I stare at where the light once was
It is gone, forever gone
I have destroyed it, irrevocably
I am doomed, doomed to exist
For always in this dead gray world
I scream no, yet the sound
Is killed by the hopelessness
I cannot leave, I cannot die
I cannot even hope for release
Forever

A cry in the wilderness...
Is it some wounded animal calling for help?
Is it a hungry hunter calling for death?
Is it a wolf calling for its mate?
No, it is me crying out in anguish.

Tears' Fountain

When you feel unaware, lost, out of place
Walking toward a path, a simple straight line
Looking ahead, seeing a structure, ancient, old, magnificent
Pleasing to thine eyes, soothing to your emotions
You see and stay awhile, beside the Tears' Fountain

(Wolfgir)- When a bright future shines ahead
Never lacks luster, stable and sturdy
Until one is lured away by forgetfulness
The other, losing the other, hurt, you walk aimlessly, but in a straight line
You arrive and stay awhile, beside the Tears' Fountain

(Ryan)- When someone you hold dear, someone you hold freely
Wanders away, never realizing the affection offered to her, or ignorance it is
It never did work out like a well-oiled machine in the first place
Running in circles, then going in a straight line, you start to see, start to be enlightened
You strive to stay awhile, beside the Tears' Fountain

This is where the rainbow ends, where the pot of gold lies
The end of all tragedy and of grief
Peace and serenity is all that is seen
Plus a few, and a little more of the unknown
Tears' Fountain attempts to focus a lost soul, into the right direction.

The one with the ( ) are the stanzas I based it on their experiences.
