A Time of Darkness

 

forever this will be true, my child...

in the gentle twilight
before the savage night
and dark dreams,
we move, awake still,
but drifting,
in control
of less and less

and when the shadows

overtake us
why are we surprised?

sharpen your wits

and light your lamp

for these are the
true weapons against the night

keep your sword
if you must
it has a use;
but the shadows
fear a blazing mind
more than any steel
