Wraith Cat Running
Half my soul runs through the night
On silent padded paws
The other half exists by day
Moving on without a cause
Plodding through my dull routine
The pressure mounts inside me
I long for freedom and the night
The beast within is rising
Darkness is my reverie
It hides the worst and spares the best
It's magic is for me alone
It's terror saved for all the rest
Half my soul runs through the night
On silent padded paws
It's eyes are green it's coat is black
And at it's feet lay deadly claws
What brings about this change you ask
In truth I do not know
But I must heed the ancient call
And out into the night I go
All I know once dawn has come
Is that I've been alive
And what has perished in my wake
Insures the fact that I survive
Half my soul runs through the night
On silent padded paws
The other half is what you see
And when you see me, pause

Hey Christine, My Thomas Newman-Loving Nerd -
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the blog! And my first question/comment is...who wrote this poem/lyric? Was it you per chance? ~Steven
A hail and hearty greeting, fellow libran, poet and soundtrack lover!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new blog...I hope it's cogitative therapy provides you some surcease from physical pain. Any distraction from constant discomfort is a welcome visitor.
Speak your mind, my friend. Don't let tentative thoughts tremble on the brink when they only need expression to take flight and for one small moment you can mend the universe.
The Wraith Cat comes,
Her whisper now a shout;
Let it echo down the corridor of time
To tell us what it's all about.
At Steven64 and Ruggo

I've never written anything which could pass as a poem, but boy I loved this one...
