When I Close My Eyes

Alone in the darkness,

When I close my eyes,

A soft lantern calls me,

Pick up the stride

Soft yellow light,

Flickering on,

Steadily burning,

Then it is gone

Fighting the demons,

Monsters in dreams,

Reading this poem,

Is not what it seems

Losing my way,

Alone in the dark

Found my way out,

Followed the spark

Spark of a thought,

A vision, a wish

Words of the past,

To predict this

Fast forward the movement,

Skipping in time

Light in the darkness

Judging the crime

Deep in the darkness,

Alone as I weep

In those dark hours

Just me, counting sheep

Another cliffhanger,

Waiting on go

What happens next?

We all want to know.

How’d she get out?

Where is she now?

Silence is deadly,

She wants us to bow.

Gifted me darkness,

I turned it to light

Now all your sins

Shine in the night

Dark an illusion,

things which we fear

Karma be watching,

Hell hounds are near

Darkness of night,

Light of the moon

Guiding me forward

Midnight to noon

Forward and onward,

Days turn to seasons

hiding the light

I have my reasons

Defeating the darkness,

Sparks become brighter

Warrior mind

Unconventional fighter

Boxing the shadows,

Scare them away

Lighting the path

Brighter than day

Forging a path,

Fighting the pain,

Not giving up

Cleansed by the rain

Forged in the darkness,

Hidden from sight,

Strength of the cosmos

Dust to starlight

Dawn is now breaking,

It’s a new day,

Surviving the darkness

A new role to play

Lighting the torch,

Whisper a prayer

Waiting for others

To know that I care

The path is now lit,

Follow along

Singing the lyrics

Of a new song

A light in the darkness,

The darkest hour,

Igniting hope,

When all moods are sour

Slayed all the demons,

Monsters goodbye,

No longer afraid,

When I close my eyes.

Light of the lantern,

Flickers and glows,

Guiding the dreamer,

things that they know

Soft glimmer of light,

now all but faded

Reignite hope,

no longer Jaded

Darkness of night

One tiny spark,

Follow it now,

staight out of the dark.
