Through the Night of Black
The night of black before my eyes
holds for me the promise of
the coming light of endless day
when there’s nothing more to saythe sun rides high the moon rides low
over lands of deepest snow
though I am scarred by the cutting cold
I must stand and be bold
I must stand and be boldI know not why it falls on me
this passionate storm of life
moves me closer to the day
when men have nothing more to saythe stars ride high as the moon rides low
over deserts of burning sand
though I am scarred by the furnace heat
I must stand and be bold
I must stand and be boldthese blood-shot eyes have seen too much
this battered heart is numb to touch
but the coming light of endless day
helps me to find my wayI ride high and I ride low
through the valley where I must go
though I fear the shades of death
I must stand and be bold
I must stand and be bold-------
I am a fan of a song called "Sail the Sky" by the Bedlam Bards. It was featured on a recording they released called On the Drift - songs inspired by Firefly and Serenity. I listened to the song several times while I wrote this. I'll give the writer of "Sail the Sky" a writing credit if he asks, as I feel I borrowed too much from his lyrics.

When I was reading it, wasn't sure whether it was a poem or not 'coz it did seem like lyrics to a song as well. Well written nonetheless.
@Babieboo_Annie - thank you. i am glad you liked it. this was loosely based on a melody to a written by Bedlam Bards.
