Chapter 497

Defend

Where is the beginning
Where is the end
Is this not all
What we pretend

Into life's darkness
We sometimes descend
Where do our thoughts go
As we receive and send

There is only so much time
That we have to spend
We must be choosy
To what we attend

We may find those
Who an escape they will lend
As we crawl from the mire
Allowing us to ascend

Along the journey
Some may become a friend
As thoughts from the mind
Are created and penned

Nobody
