untitled

I see the darkness
Fabrication of phantoms who betray me
Swallowing fear behind a curtain
Only to gait with falter

I engulf the rays of light
Giving birth to breath
Tainted lungs capture emotions
Spoken words turned to potion

I speak in silence
Lurking beneath shadows of sorrow
Misguided intentions decay
Acquiesced in solace at the strike of solstice

When darkness comes
There will be fire
And when burnt out, the smoke rises
Higher into the air, higher and higher

Illuminating skies
The shadows dance with the flare of the fire
Water pours in and mends our desires
Still we stand feeling all the energy
Ready to embark on our mission of generosity
