sacred



here in the dark
lying next to you
our bodies so close
your presence overwhelms

searching the darkness
seeking a safe harbor
you see me as I am
frightened and strong at once

here in the dark
trust is difficult to find, harder to give
lay your head on my chest
feel my beating heart

I used to fear the dark
full of all that would do us harm
scared of what I could not see
now I embrace the mystery

we whisper in the dark
in this place so full of secret pain
ancient demons that roam our minds
searching for the cracks in our faith

help me hold the darkness at bay
let's escape into the moonwashed night
holding each other in a dreamy embrace
here in the dark we are sacred
