"Close your eyes" I whisper
"so you cannot see the night"
Darkness bleeding in
threatens the single softest light

The quiet seems to mock me
My thoughts beg to be heard
The battle slowly lost
as I listen to each word

All the unanswered questions
I brush back falling tears
I wish my children had a mother
with not so many fears

It's hardest to be strong
in the honesty of night
When I have to see the shadows
that surround my fragile light




To capture and live a moment is truly living

Ah DK...this speaks to me...I've seen the shadows, and believe it or not, the light will come...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Light fragile
Light Bright
Defining shadows
YOU control the Night

Where Within Is Without
And all things equal rise
In stature shadows beguile
Yet feed on YOUR Illumination

There is NO Bleeding
All wounds are closed
There is NO DarknessImpending
Only Pathways Unexplored YOU Lighting the Way
