Dark Forest

I close my eyes, the dark breathes in

soft light spills across my skin

The forest hums, a sound so deep

it holds me close, it makes me sleep



Night is warm, it’s calling slow

I don’t need the sun to glow



There’s a fire in the dark

slowly beating, in my heart

Hold me close, don’t let go

I’m alive, I’m alive, I know



Silver lines, they drift and fade

like memories we never made

The quiet sings, it never ends

a song for lost and found again



Even when the light is gone

the dark still hums

it carries on



There’s a fire in the dark

slowly beating, in my heart

Hold me close, don’t let go

I’m alive, I’m alive, I know



In the dark, I find my peace

let the noise and fear all cease

One small flame, all I see

still enough to carry me



There’s a fire in the dark

slowly beating, in my heart

Hold me close, don’t let go

I’m alive, I’m alive, I know
