Darkness Rising

Sunset wanes and dusk arrives
Another day that I've survived
Here I reflect upon the day
And whisk it's tormenting smile away
For the comfort of the night
And darks embrace by candle light
Hand in hand upon the spire 
Darkness dancing with the fire
Shadows roving round the light
Inspire musings of delight
Muttering to me and I learning
Answers to a lifetimes yearning
Stripping me of all my fears
The tidings of all yesteryears
Written upon a wonting heart
Willingly with them I part
