"As Darkness Falls"

As darkness falls,
From beyond the horizon.
Where my heart and soul
Are meant to be...
I see how everything,
Has place and purpose;
Past the Sunset,
Beyond the Sea.

As darkness falls
And smothers my room,
The light so coveted
No longer catches my eye.
And peace and comfort...
Has no room in me.
No reason to hide...
This evil within.

For as darkness falls,
And consumes our souls
Will we not act,
As that darkness would?
Our souls so broken
Our lives defy...
Everything about us
In terror's ill move.

Yet as darkness fell,
Trying to shut out the Light.
The Light didn't fail...
Something burned right through.
For it is only in darkness,
Does the Light shine bright.
As the Light now shines...
In my heart so true.
