Shadows blend, darkened forms melt as the chilling night falls Into the splendor of the unknown blackness, answering your calls. Hearing you calling me from the wilderness of the night. Wandering through the dark abyss, searching without a light. I fear not, of the ghosts and goblins, their presence subdued. Still faint your calls grow louder as my hope is ever renewed. Blindness created by the pitch-black veil I venture into. Mesmerized by the silence surrounding your calls, now few. Step after step I feel the night engulf me, stirring a bravery. Tripping over brambles, surging through this black drapery. Ghosts begin to taunt me swirling around my head. I am not bothered and run through them without dread. Chilled by the cold night air, as it dries up all my tears. Stark silence stirs me as now I realize my worst fears. Solitude wakens me to what night did not allow me to see. My beautiful one you are calling me, from a place I cannot be.
