That Darkness Leading Into Silent Tombs

That Darkness Leading Into Silent Tombs At night, hallway between our distant bedrooms that darkness leading into silent tombs, I know the pain of your quiet despair, where foul shadows float though the air. Memories of that day, those dastardly deeds bequeath a crop of ever darker seeds, I feel the anger and loss deep in your cave that agonizing hurt, loss of the love you gave. Yet you see not the greater wrong done me tight chains that kept me from being free, and how your blindness took away my sight as we both now - embrace misery day and night. If only we could wake from these never ending dreams Find dear mercy and light, that both our heart redeems R.J. Lindley, Oct. 17th, 1974
