Bring in Night

Bring in night

and the dark that lies in it

the shadows will sit and wait like a taunting

yet do not keep yourself away

come into it with eyes and heart open

Step in with hands that do not grasp

and want to race back to your safe world

that you have created

and believe it holds a treasure

as this is what is not the way

it is not the journey to find yourself

You must step into the dark recesses

of your world and find it holds nothing

of power to harm

it holds nothing that can ring of truth

or lasts in the crossfire of Kali's sharp tongue

and weapons that will blast the whole thing

that haunts away

When you walk through and live it all as if

it is just a dream and not of substance

and clasp your hands to your heart

and keep your eyes on the light

then you will be walking away

from the world that holds nothing but dust

that blow with winds of time
