I Saw

Quietly within a shadow Not recalling when darkness came the night swallowed me somehow the wind whispered my name alone, below the starless sky I raised my eyes to see and there in total blackness saw the soul inside of me folded as a gilded book my life as it has been daring me there to look the deeds I've done therein Though I'd known it all before in a shadow put away now there upon the slate my score was the tally I saw that day
