daylight descends and again I rise to greet the fading light with open arms night comes shadows fall across the land covering the sorrow of another day healing the pain of another life the moon does not rise lest it reveal too much to the eye I have only asked the stars to shine as they guide the heart home at my command the night wind carries and caresses the broken heart healing the hurt and pain that comes from revealing too much of itself in the light of love on those winds the heart dreams the heart hopes and in that moment I make them come true if only for that moment the heart returns healed by the winds of night ready again to face the trials of the light I have taken its pain to myself for I am the Darkness and in my black light the heart is made whole and love never dies ------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
