The Darkest Place (re-submitted)
-------------------------------------------

There are flowers in the meadow Big ones, and small Of the darkest shadow Cracks the dawn of fall. Like painting a picture A dash of color. But faded in time Losing its valor. Even when bright The sun doesn't shine And flowers shed not light Nor a shadow of a line. But in the midst A dark castle looms Surrounded by mist And that of the deepest gloom. The piercing cries Of spirits passed Cover your eyes Only a second to last. Fearful of death Unable to stand To take in a breath A front a castle so grand. You can read the history Inside and out A past filled with fury You steady your mount. Ride closer you do Until its close upon And a shadow consumes you And your presence is gone. Locked inside Forever and a day Your spirit to confide And suffer a darker day. How dark and full of hate Could be such a place Only one which brings the fate Of death we shall face. For caught in the shadow An unbeatable race Your spirit trapped and hollow Even in the darkest place.
