Light in Shadows

Beautiful darkness encloses once more The smallest sound echoes, my tears falling to the floor The shadows hide me from my fear of the light And my tears show silver in the absense of my fright The day wears on as the sun moves across the skies Soon the night will come to silence all the lies I only wish the day was shorter than my loving night I seem to only live when the moon gives me life I'm lost in my thoughts so I son't see the shadows fade The sun sun has crept his way to the safety that I made I look up in fright as the light shines in my eyes But I don't melt or burn, nor do I feel myself die Odd I think, that it doesn't steal my soul In fact I think its warmth has made my spirit whole I leave the whispers that sung only shadowed words Because when I step into the light I feel music I've never heard
