What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why?

The night sky as viewed through tree branches. Image created by DALL·E.

Darkness
A troubled soul cries out, 
lost amidst the darkness. 

The night sky is dark, 
darker than any before. 

The stars shine brighter, 
to light the way, 
as the night grows on. 

Lost souls gazing at the horizon, 
the darkness gives way to dawn, 
and the stars fade away.

This is today’s #Bloganuary entry. This poem was originally published here.

Today’s art comes from a request to Dall•E to make something to go with the poem.

Ode

Tucked away in a dark corner,
Multitudes Of mysteries
awaiting discovery inside.

In your depths
there are riches hidden
Cast off and forgotten by others.

The perfumes waft upon a breeze,
Scents of coffee, bark, and meat,
Maddening my senses and compelling action.

Oh, trash can,
Open to my desires, spill your earthly treasures,
My Name is Roxy, and I am Dog.
