Respair
The redwoods darken with age
Shrouding the future
With nothingness and despair
As one thing piles on top of another,
Compounding fears
While the world fades into disintegration
Walking into a future without hope.
Until the light of life breaks through
Into a new dawn
And we see the way ahead,
Following an unknown path
That no one's walked before
But sense a presence
That is ever with us.
