Darkness Remains

As the day comes to silence,
As the rain begins to fall,
As the sky kisses night,
The darkness remains.

It fills the earth with solitude,
It brings tranquility through pain,
It yearns to bring sincerity,
Even though the darkness remains.

Until lessons are learned,
Until secrets are told,
Until love is requited,
The darkness will remain.

It is the need for a change,
It is the desire for success,
It is the sincerity of the soul,
That shall keep the darkness away.
