dark

Beyond

Beyond the cloud the sun
Beyond the night the dawn
The dark is dark for its own sake
Beyond the dream we shall once more wake

It was dark and there was fear

Enemies hidden.
It was dark and there was fear.
Then came the light. You.

I went all the way

I went all the way to Cape Town to swim with great white sharks
I bought us both an ice cream but ate them in the park
I forgot those unforgettable things and made some silly remark
But when I was at my lowest place, you brought me through my dark

Dark park

Dark park.

Thought.

OK, short way.

Took fork.

Cute shoe caught.

Hide. Hide!

Lay. Prayed.

Ghosts.

Ghosts.

My shadow is my closest friend

My shadow is my closest friend;
she understands me.
In the darkness of the darkest night
I light a candle to see her close again.
