The alley way seems dark
Secluded little place
And some might even say
Here danger lurks with its evil face

Yet somehow I’m not scared
Though the light is dim
Knowing morning comes after night
Keeps doubt to a minimum

So here I am
Alone I stand
A shadow in a distant land

At a peculiar time
There’ll be sunshine
All the light in the world will be mine

So in this moment
The alley way and I
Will exist in a common place

I might contemplate
In the quietness of night or
The complexity of our human race.
