THE DARK

Candice James

Copyright 2009

I’m riding a rusty dream

Heading for a dusty sundown,

Hustling showdowns with rainbows

In hazy rodeos.

Forgotten wishes still live,

Breathe, linger on my lips

And heat the glaciers in my mind

I’m in a silver thaw.

I hardly recognize myself these days.

As I open my eyes

It all becomes so clear.

The only dark there is,

Is the dark I create.
