Darkness

the light of the sun

rises in the east

and so, some would say,

does the darkness

of night

i spent so much time

running

trying to catch the light

longing for the day

i could escape the darkness

then we found each other

my soul screamed

that it was about time

you showed me

the moon and stars

the beauty of the night

and our souls danced

to the songs

of the gods,

the goddesses,

and their angels

as they sang in joy

of our union

or reunion

i've known you forever

and such a short time

this life

is a grain of sand

in the ocean of eternity

you and i forever

as it should be

as it's always been

my sweetest love
