Darkness
Darkness again upon me preys
Nights of hell and very short days
So many fears, so many tears
Multiplied throughout the years
Just what good is it to stay ‘round
Might be better underground
Exhaustion plagues day by day
Wisest course may be to go away
Day after day of sultry gray plight
Night after night devoid of light
Leaving me sad, dismay comes back
Darkness turns my thoughts to black
A hat of black, a cloak of grey
Seeking color along my merry way
Variations so sweet and pure
They will elevate my mood for sure
