Castle In The Shadows (poetry 2014-present)

Give me a sign that you'll be alright all I know's you have fallen all I know's you're not there fellow solider once beside me you're not on the other line and passing is the time where there was your shine and the light you beam on others please be wrapped in it now let it protect, no matter how deep the wounds sustained may be please come back to plant another tree I was fighting my own battle thrashing my sword in the field didn't see you drop your shield I was clinking so loud and I could not yield ... please forgive me, oh sweet sister as we're caught up in this metaphysical twister that we have to both survive because we have to stay alive ... We need you here I want us to be free ... please hang onto grace with me somehow, somewhere we'll be free - S. Rose Ashcraft

Sown is the sound of reaching, all around and daylight in the sky beams on, with hope dangling up high .. Blue and clear it's wry - while the air is warm and dry breeze is flowing through your fingers circling 'round it hums and lingers every evening until dawn the calls echo like a song - a bittersweet lullaby of hope sowing up high as night falls upon the sky .. and as the stars have written forewarning; of both rejoice and mourning as we pause to hear the sounds past reaching all around to feel our feet upon the ground! secure on this earth it's where we are bound - S. Rose Ashcraft
