Appletree

Darkness in and Darkness without

Darkness in and darkness without.

A black beast of fear, consuming my doubt

Of all that I\'ve said and all that I\'ve done,

Journeys I\'ve ended and lives I\'ve begun,

Lives that have blessed me, lives I have shamed

Against some that were decent, against others I\'ve blamed

For my fragile failings, my dismal dismay

I\'ve sat with them often, but never to pray

A circular sentence, scenes of sorrow I scream

The darkness it replies

it isn\'t a dream.
