Darkness
ANDREW JOHN BARLOW, LOUISE ANN RHODES
I couldn't see darkness until now
Only light
(Though sometimes the shadows flickered across my view)
Light
But darkness, this cold emptiness
Somehow passed me by
Like a charmed thing I sailed
Slipping through its fingers
Blessed until now
Blessed until now
Only now, only now, only now
And I'm beyond recognition
Gone to some small space in silent stillness
Yet something beats anew
Somewhere
I'm waiting to be reborn
Only this time, only this time, only this time
Born in darkness
None can dim my light
None can dim my light
