It’s Just Darkness

It’s just darkness
which edges me on
along a narrow road
weary by my side
hope scattered
in my head.

She was a dark horse
no reins to steer
my fingers worn
just a bit.

True friends of another
a constellation in the sky
this star I cannot see
but know is there.

It’s just darkness
which edges me on
to find a road alone
and trust the sun
to wash away the shadows
and lead me home.
