Pieces of Empty

A darkness fell on me today
No sliver of a light appeared
Inside the heart a distant call
But its hurt voice was unclear.

The shatter of the broken light
Resting now among the stone
Scattered by the winds of change
Blown into the great unknown.

A whisper from inside the shell
Torn from the soul of constant fear
Now holds the pieces of the night
Within the darkened sphere.

Many days have come to pass
No beacon shines within the mind
The tatters of a broken soul
Unable now to cling to time.

The pieces drift among the stars
And scurries from the flooding gate
The faded moon upon the dream
Within the realm of tempered fate.

It hangs a little crooked now
Because the parts have lost their glow
A darkness falls upon the heart
Then buries deep the empty soul.
