Dark

This is where
it all turns dark;
the sky, the sea
the mind and heart.

The ballast broken,
bound and battered.
Naked dreams have
all been shattered.

As we the human race
take form;
called to battle
the weak and worn.

The fallen,
free from expectation,
hold no quarter
over indignation.

So this is where
it all turns dark;
the way, the hope
the drive and spark.
