the day is done

darkness knocks with urgency from the outside, i rise to let it in, surrounded by the shadows of the past i seek to see the truth of its soul to no avail for it is hidden in another place i no longer know where the heart lays for i have walked away from our destiny i am on the outside looking in thru a glass for i can not partake in the circle of the round table my high is a natural high for no substance clouds the judgement of my heart i am intoxicated only by the sounds of your music for i hear it calling to me in my sleep i hear the raindrops on the tin roof when the music stops the stillness of the day is gone the sound of the bass echos in my head the beat of the drum is in rhythm with the pulse of my heart i feel the music flow like blood thru my veins and i smile for i know my happiness is here you take away the darkness in my soul
