Shadow of Death

Although I tread in the shadow of death,

With nothing to me but the skin I bear,

I find acceptance in a single breath,

For that Is what I found the world can share.

While black may tremble my soul in stone,

Leaving no sliver of light to shine on me,

I find the sun leaves a promise known

I shall prevail as the moon will see

For the truth of night shall have its reach,

To creep into the mind when I solemnly sleep

For while I’m awake in the the world, I beseech,

Praise to my mind, for thoughts do not speak

Now I shall go to seek my abyss

To seek what I claimed where the night stood still

Wherever I go in this shadow of bliss,

I will be the light and the darks first kiss.
