Before the last spark of light <br />Before darkness faces blight <br />I might find my way home <br />The sunset races to hide the day <br />I could have lied my way <br />Into your heart of stone <br />The sun never looks back at me <br />Storm clouds turn black with guarantee <br />The path home will be alone <br />Shadows stretch out to caress my solemn heart <br />Lonesome doves do their best to ease pain in part <br />I yield to the unknown<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/home-before-dark/
