It is within the bounds of the dreaded darkness
I cloak myself with fear and a veil of silence
To quickly glide amongst the great shadows

Those who roam within my soul come once more
To gather the harvest, the droppings of my soul
Left from moments and memories, a lifetime ago

Buried secrets, longings, long since silenced
Gather the rampant discourse to expose the shadow
That torments and tempts this journey into darkness

Searching always, and always a moment too late
To rescue and savor those moments of fate dwelling deep
Fighting for light, the shadows appear, dashing, fading

The dreaded darkness comes to rob and conquer
T he lingering shadows, while they fight to survive
They will succumb once more to an array of darkness
