Alone I sit,

I count the time

passing things,

never sublime.

Seconds pass,

minutes crawl

hours move,

shadows on the wall

part of the scene,

am I now

sitting beneath

the leafy bough

warmth of sun,

breeze so cool

keep away,

deathly ghoul

strength be mine,

time to rise,

home I ride

‘neath darkening skies.
