Man In the Dark

In the dark, he lurks. always around the corner like one scared of coming out. but he's no coward. only bidding his time I looked into his eyes. I saw the beauty in it. also the guilt in it of evil, men thought he did He said to me: I'm only a messenger. a debt collector an errand man I am a man of my words. I will surely come. even if I tarry I will surely come. I will come and take you away. to a land unknown to the known in the silence of swift movement. leaving heavy showers leaving thunderclaps I will surely come; I always do.
