The Dark

I walked on the sun and did not see the light I walked through the graveyard with nary a fright In childlike wonder I took no delight I walked through the valley of death and I lived Shared a moment of passion I know not who with And slowly found out I have nothing to give I walked down a path by the light of the moon I learned how to dance and I learned how to swoon And I sharpened my tongue with intention to wound I walked by a shadow alone in the dark Discoursed with him silently just for a lark We walked until morning and found the world stark I buried the shade of me under a tree And went 'bout my business with purposeful glee Taking solace in knowing I never would be.
