When Darkness Descends Like Rain
by Tom GossAs the ebony sky survives
My star-streaked mind is alive
As the howl of night dies
I hear the galloping of sunrise
In the swirling mist of dreams
I'm a warrior protecting my Faery Queen
Though the implacable grip of destiny
Crushes my bones to dust
I return to your arms instantly
In a whirlwind of resurrection
When the darkness descends like rain
Your smile's a planet of hope spinning around my brain
For the moments we've shared are a treasury
Because you lift up my heart and you set me free 02/15/2013 Author's Note: This is a song: Hear me play piano and sing, if ye dare ;)
