Coming Out of the Shadows
Coming out of the shadows is dire hope
With no mechanisms at which to cope
It’s like the darkness is grasping to hold
Wanting to strangle, to break the light mold
Smell of sulfur sits within its confines
Being expelled right from its center lines
Forming a deadly piece to relinquish
Suffocating by what it does relish
There is a window of time that’s bestowed
Where some light leaks on out from deep below
With the glow to come out of the darkness
The portal frees love from the emptiness
Moon’s gravitational pull brings out light
Coming out of the shadows it is bright
