Alone in the darkness

Alone in the darkness
a hand of days
I listen for the wings
of your tarn
in the soft falling rain.

Until I know you yet breathe
I shall seek no rest
My heart calls out to you silently
while it bleeds in my chest.

Staring through eyes
that shimmer with tears
I try not to be overcome
with unfounded fears.

For a braver man
I've never met
& it was at the hands
of a warrior
my fate in life was kept.
As a woman in your arms
you made me free
One look in your eyes
& it was all I longed to be.

A familiar sound draws closer
A breeze stirs upon
my upturned face
I fly down the stairs
in undisguised haste
& throw myself into your
outstretched arms
Thanking once again
The Priest Kings
You haven't been harmed.

Voices in the dark
