Faith and Light

Pale yellow skies circle around me
The last light of sun for the day
As it sets, many things whirl in my mind
From a world that spins around me, in decay

There is a darkness settling that no-one can avoid
We must only stand by truth and fight
Faith and light must carry us ahead
And carry us through, every single night!

You know, I feel much the same way, Heidi. And those early sunsets don't help a whole lot. Keep the Faith, Gershon
