I know beyond the darkness, there's a candle flame that flickers and the darkness is a mantle on my soul. <br />I know beyond the darkness, there's a peace that yet evades me as the reaper waits in silence for his toll. <br /> <br />But if i hear the sobbing, from the shadows that pursue me and the voice that calls me softly, calls my name. <br />Then I must turn and answer, tell the reason for my leaving, <br />tell her gently that it's me, not her, to blame.<br /><br />Laurie hill<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-peace-beyond/
