Sleeper in the Hollow

Sleeper in the hollow

Burning the candle bright

Enough asynthe to swallow

Throat raw and tight

Power quaking

Feel the earth shaking

Dagger in hand

But failing to stand

Forced into the dark

Never to illuminate

Cannot hear the melodious lark

Because this mind is a closed gate

Crossed the line never to be

What happened to the heart?

Sleeper in the hollow to see

Pulling this Power apart

Who to dominate?

Who to fail?

Cannot anticipate

The one to prevail

The war of Beauty

Inside or outside

Faces swear fealty

No hearts to confide

Losing this Power

Escalating a thunderous fear

What saves in the final hour

Is everything you hold dear

Inner beauty is the brighter flame

Catching the illuminious stars above

Shining with Power to win the game

Overcoming war with love

Sleeper in the hollow

Awake from your dreaming

The light from this candle to follow

Nothing is as seeming 

Author's Note

Open to interpretation. I didn't have a specific thought when I wrote this, though it's loosely based on a story my cousin is writing. About the power of inner beauty.
Enjoy.
Eile :)
