From Light to Dark - 1996

The sunset's beauty

Quiet colors meld together

My bright, warming sun

Hides behind the world

False lights lead my way

Night shines

It's own false hope

Sometimes purity and truth

Shine like the sun

But I was raised

In a world of streetlights

I live in the night

My path is covered

In shadows and impurities

Obstacles are hidden

I trip and fall

On those who lend a hand

Before it darkens

Before the streetlights shine

As the sun sets

I see a reason

To walk through one more night

Everything is silent

For a moment

I'm mesmerized and calm

A glimpsing glimmer

Of something right

Before it fades

Before falsities and shadows

And darkness blanket

My road though life
