Darkness

There is darkness all around me
The ground at my feet I cannot see
All in arms reach must flee
While I walk stumbling through trees

There is darkness all around
But surely love must abound
Surely trumpets must sound
The sun must come up from the ground

The darkness is encompassing
I am searching for light that is passing
I step on toes, crushing, severing
But darkness is in all, ruling, enticing

I looked above but the stars had all gone
I looked in my heart, but it was all wrong
I felt the warmth of a fire and heard a song
I felt the fire and realized it was my eyes all along
