Dark

In the stillness and dark when silence has overtaken me
as my breath ceases to rush in and out but mearly wanders through
I think about how I can still live
for my candle flickers so in this windy world

sometimes maybe it's despair that pauses my heart beat
but I am certain that it is always hope that stands and will not give way

so I try and answer my doubts and reason my fears to sleep
but instead it is me that sleeps
my fears simple elude my grasp and slink away
away into the dark
