forget the candles
no flame to light the way
break the switches
let the stars shine away
a subtle light
a suffocating dark
unafraid of what’s there
but afraid to not see far
to see where you’re going
to feel your way around
to sniff out anything there
and to hear any little sound
let the dark encompass you
if you dare to expand dreams
it’s not just the light that leads
but the sound of a heart beat
