The darkness runs
Riding into the night
The clouds part
Wrath has found flight

The rain sweeps
Life is on the edge
The lightening beckons
The divide becomes a wedge

Why do you run?
Oh, beautiful one.
What is within me,
That makes me not see?

I ask and thirst
I shout and scream,
The pools of Bethesda
are but a dream.

I seek and hunger,
I run, but fall,
Falling, the silence
Engulfs my all

The voice within,
Shakes my being,
The light is binding,
Piercing my failings.

Tears so pure,
Washing my feet,
Why do you leave,
When it was so sweet?

Though the darkness remains,
I can still smell your fragrance,
I still know you,
Because of your presence.
