Somewhere, Somewhen

[In the game of life,

every now is a fresh start,

and every then carries the end,

Just around the bend,

tears melting down my face,

and my dreams are my guests.

I'm crouching in a cage,

under the indifferent stars,

and my fears are the bars.

beneath the bed of an endless sea,

and my mind holds the key.

to a boulder on the lip of a ravine,

and my hopes are my chain.

I'm  crying all alone,

blood pouring from my eyes,

while my heart rolls the dice.

[In the game of life,

a beginning may be the end,

an end may begin the world anew,

Just around the bend,
