When Darkness Falls

When darkness falls,

I will see no light,

a shadow no longer cast,

the veil will be drawn.

When darkness falls,

the silence will sing

symphonies unheard,

that echo in the void.

When darkness falls,

I will be consumed,

swallowed at that moment,

fading from reality.

When darkness falls,

the storm will cease,

breathless whisper's stop,

the quiet calm.

When darkness falls

this dream will end,

mere memory in the past,

a distant thought.

When darkness falls,

where silence reigns,

when the storm is done,

the light will shine.
