Powers Out -4 Poet Collab

Here I sit in the dark of night Using my laptop for a little light Our power has gone out,and it's quite an eerie site In this town that's so dead,it kinda causes a little fright I found and lit a small candle,though it doesn't pay For it will probably burn out before my battery fades away It's really kind of peaceful,that indeed I must say Without all the noise that I hear in the light of day Chirpping birds,and noisey neighbors,have all gone away So I must once again familiarise myself with my place Reassure myself without the dependent sence of eyes grace The darkness comforts me,and brings me piece of mind A comfort in the light of day,that I can never seem to find Still we need the daylight,to see all the beautiful things The sky,the earth in harmony,the beauty of that bird as it sings So let this battery die,and let that candle flicker out For it's in the darkness of your mind,you learn what love's about *A collab with 4 different poets* Richard Palmer Brittany MAD Poet Caldwell Louis Rams Dan Kearley:6-10-12
