Darkness & Light

Letting you see
the darkness that is me
in the midst of the light

Letting me be
the possibility
as I stand within the night

Lightness flows
and darkness flares
igniting the fulcrum of life

I run from the center of me
Until I realize I've run back to me
and embrace the darkness
that I cannot escape

I run to the center of me
And discover the light
held in my darkness
and I see
me

Sentinels of the Night

Ah, bless-ed wing-ed creatures of the night
that lift my dreams
to the starry blankness of the dark
on wings of leathery blackness
until my soul re-emerges to the light
