In The Dark

The time has now passed for words

the time has now passed

for telling stories in the dark

the time has now passed for yearning

the time has now passed for flying

the sparrows have all lost their voices,

the kingdom of the sky has fallen

the season of care has passed over

the season of the heart has passed over

the season of hurt has passed over

the season of numb has arrived

the time has now passed

for me and my story

I won’t tell it in the dark
