The Dark Side
Then throw more logs on the fire,
Since the air is bleak and cold,
And the children are drawing nigher,
For the tales that the wind has told;
So closer and closer gather
Round the red and crackling light,
And rejoice (while the wind is blowing),
We are safe and warm tonight.
Only Once!
Gregory J. Christiano
Jar one chord, the harp is silent;
Move one stone, the arch is shattered;
One short clarion-cry of sorrow
Bids mighty armies to awake;
One dark cloud hides the sunlight;
One loose string and pearls are scattered;
Think one thought, faith may perish;
Say one word, a heart may break!
