≡ A Darker Place
Once in a desert of hopelessness
Twice in a sea of despair
Again only trying survival
Third time to the surface for air
Dropped in circle of listlessness
Backed in the corner again
Seeming to be, yet invisible
With shadow and darkness for friends
To escape from the dark is the challenge
To expose the raw jagged edge
Bared to the bone and fleshless
Clinging for life to the ledge
The fall’s not the part that unnerves you
The weightlessness comes with the game
It’s the stop that waits at the bottom
That worms its way into your brain.
Bill Fripp
