When the Black Wind Fades

When I'm out and the black wind fades from me

Here comes the sun! The dawn's sharp flames reveal

Raw skies of light that scare me and rough seas

Deep with real truth, filled with hue that I feel

But black moves on. Marching safe, cold, and made

blackened, shrouding away as the wind gusts

As passion cools, as hue fades and away

is sight, with failed dreams shrunk safer and sunk

When one day it looks. Moments of clear mirth

Like lamps at night glow and reveal I,

who holds on, shedding light, and I am there.

I find I, lost and alone, real and pale,

And when again it breaks, and black wind fades

I may touch my hearth, I will find my way.
