    Creatures Born of Night

    will you walk with me?hand in handas today fades into tomorrowour silhouettes on the horizonoutlined in memoryforever captured in timecan you hear my heart speak?whispering a thousand names...with every hopeful beatas we gather under sunset's kissburning yesterday's pain awaysinking...

    • yes, Willow, I will walk with you and everyone here wherever the trail may go. Incredible, inspiring write, and much needed read on this first day of the poetic year!

      with heartfelt thanks
      Clay

      • We need community and hope more than ever these days. If the fire burns low, we’ll just gather more kindling. Thank you, Clay

    • hello beautiful Willow this is very uplifting the current climate of fear is getting to me I fear a lot…this put my mind at peace❤️

      • We have to take the moments one breath at a time these days, and build our community so strong we hold each other up. They’re doing their best to bring us down. Gotta keep the fires of hope burning 🧡

    • This is such a beautiful song. Very powerful and you are absolutely right, we need community. Thank you for this.

    • Brilliantly penned, Willow. Now that’s a bonfire! Excellent lyrics with an amazing musical arrangement. Really liked the drums in this my friend. That third stanza worked as a bridge, I really loved the build to that moment, the bridge brought it all home. It was also the heaviest part of the song with the drums working like exclamation points to your words. When my brother was a drummer in a certain band, I often referred to him as: “The Human Exclamation Point.” Drummers help put emphasis on lyrics in my opinion. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

      • Drums are the beat we march to. Definitely the punctuation. I think I wanted a strong drum rhythm there to keep the energy building, keep the fire burning and hope going. Thank you, my friend. I’ll be bringing wood as needed to keep it going

    • This feels like walking alongside the poem itself—hand in hand through both shadow and light. I love how it turns struggle into hope, and hope into a quiet, unshakable victory.

      • So often we have to transition from one emotion and strength to the next. We’ve just endured one helluva year and we gotta build ourselves up and hold to our community to get through the upcoming days, but we can do it and come out the other side. Thank you, Thomas 🧡

    • Yes I will walk together with you and in hand, dear Willow, and burn yesterday’s pain to substitute it with new hope which you inspire so brilliantly with this masterpiece!

      • I think we’re long overdue. And we’ll need another infusion before long, I’m sure. I needed to rest my lungs from screaming. I’m sure I’ll be screaming again in a minute, but right here, right now, we need to build the fire. Thank you, Elke 🧡

    • The unifying spirit of this song reaches beyond the soul. Very beautiful.

      Much respect

    • Awwwwwwww nice!
      This is like sugar for day old coffee, making it tolerable. Like a rare seashell after the bombardment of the ocean’s waves.
      Thank you for this treasure of a poem. It’s a gem.

    • This is not only poetry but something else beside .. I could probably both read and listen to it pretty much round the clock .. Neville 😎💛⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌻👍

      • Trust me, I wrote the thing and there have been days when I did listen to it on repeat. I’ll be blowing the place up with rants, but I’m keeping this fire going. Thank you, Neville 🧡
