------The Dark of Night------

Sunset slowly surrenders to night
Bringing a new world of wonder
Dissolving strong faith into doubt
And sending all known truth asunder
Revealing new dimensions of sight
And sounds that belong to the dark
Casting each fear and suspicious glance
On shadows and every dog's bark
Alone with just thoughts as companions
Each hour and minute drags by
To battle the soul of the darkness
you admit to your fear or you lie.
