Darkness
Sometimes I think the lightest thing is night
For only in the dark my mind feels clear
No lamp can calm the weight I try to fight
And old thoughts stir the moment they appear
In blooming dark my worries drift away
The pretty things are those that stay unbound
When I close up my eyes at end of day
The blur grows sharp and shapes begin to sound
Again I think the lightest thing is shade
When breath runs off and morning finds my face
I feel a part of me begins to fade
As daylight pulls me from my quiet place
So in the end I speak the truth I keep
Darkness feels light and holds the softest deep
Sometimes I think the lightest thing is night
For only in the dark my mind feels clear
No lamp can calm the weight I try to fight
And old thoughts stir the moment they appear
In blooming dark my worries drift away
The pretty things are those that stay unbound
When I close up my eyes at end of day
The blur grows sharp and shapes begin to sound
Again I think the lightest thing is shade
When breath runs off and morning finds my face
I feel a part of me begins to fade
As daylight pulls me from my quiet place
So in the end I speak the truth I keep
Darkness feels light and holds the softest deep
