when the light

when the light

A Poem by keith
"

turns dark ...

"
when the light turns dark







when the light turns dark
be not afraid
turn and run fast 

the dark is death certain and final
now is not the time to pretend brave
or believe you are smarter

turn and run as fast as you can
do not wear the costume of the fool
it will be the last change of clothes

turn ... run ... run and run more
do not look back for it's gaze will capture
just as it's deadly grasp will squeeze
the life from you

turn ... run
or death will be the last forever
