...

not far lies an eerie place
life no longer living
innocence unrecognized
and justice unforgiving

silence fills the air
twilight brings their cries
they deftly go unnoticed
in nature's grand disguise

trapped between worlds
unable to find peace
spirits bound by forces
a hold will not cease

plead in whispers
so desperate for replies
compassion not forthcoming
hope flees from the eyes

fate responds with sorrow
penance for their crime
souls forever stranded
lost .... in the midst of time
