That steals your soul, conquers your mind
It’s in that moment, when all seems lost
And you realize it’s just a dream, and you know it can be okay
She tosses and turns as she walks up a tree, into the abyss
Out of the everywhere, into the nowhere
Where sadness and sorrow drip from the ceilings
And tears run down the walls
It is here where it seizes it’s victims and pulls them under
Under the covers, the sheets, the sleep
It is here where he finds them
It is here where he takes them
She doesn’t shy away, doesn’t cower,
She stands high with the poise of dreams
Walks firm with the face of hero
Into the strange, into the hole
That moment of fear, that captivates your heart
That steals your soul, conquers your mind
It’s in that moment, when all seems lost
Then you wake up, and it’s real
Haiku:
Storming over the hills
Fields turn grey with every strike
folding the darkness
Both of these pieces are lovely--so lyrical and full of imagery. I love these lines:

Where sadness and sorrow drip from the ceilings
And tears run down the walls
And Iike how you circle back to your original stanza and twist it at the end.
