Out of the Darkness: Collaboration With Daniel Turner
Lost in a vacuum of darkness
Hearing beats of a distant drum
A marshaling cadence that harkened
Together we'll overcome
Advancing I paused to listen
The sonorous pounding increased
It's volume and rhythm did hasten
My lonely anxiety had ceased
I knew nothing now could stop me
Adrenaline numbed all sense of fear
My pace became more lively
As the darkness began to clear
Then suddenly another thumping
I tried to make sense of it all
My nerves were raw and jumping
From within I began to recall
A memory beckoned sweetly
Of days forever gone
Tucked away so neatly
For sake of moving on
Convinced my chance was over
For happiness and love
My world grew cold and lonely
Like a hand without its glove
I, the seedling, springing forth
After I had died
Know the measure of the wealth
Of love when last I tried
Then suddenly the beating
Of the drums began to sync
Oh, the possibilities
My mind began to think
Here was I, a lonely man
In darkness, Till the end
I've heard the call to see the light
Which shines on me again
- An honored collaboration of
