darkness in the night
to see is not believe
to burn in somber embers
last of dawnings grieve
lost wickedly in daylight eyes
and lonely in a crowd
stalkin sleep wakens nothing
when silences is still too loud
a heart beats weakly
a mind shuts down
a tear spills over
to shadows bound
stepping stones across the way
leads farther into fade
in the willows teasing branches
blinded now by shade
