Lines overlapping
Rope hamper by the door
Both dark and light
Changing by the moment
Home, and life, and
Emptiness, and beauty.

Back and forth
Ice and fire
One outside
The other within
But always paired well
Always with pain.

Late work, early dark
(Breathe to settle a mind)
I hear the blues a callin’
(Breathe to settle a mind)
But no matter if I’m confused
(Breathe to settle a mind)
I always know what to do-
(Breathe to settle a mind)
-with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs!

Chance, as a coin tossed,
Ever a pair of outcomes
One hoped for, one dreaded
And when alone
Only temporary,
For it’s just a matter of time
Before it finds a hand to rest in.

I’m not afraid of the dark
If I gotta walk in the dark
Then I will dance in the dark–
Won’t see me fighting for the light
I will dance in the dark…
Don’t need candles for the dark
If I’m going to be in the dark
The hands I hold in the dark–
They’re the same as in the light
I’ll hold them tight in the dark.
