Going Home

Into the darkness
Returning to where I belong
Seeking the solitude
The peace for which I long

Do not try to follow
For you will lose your way
You would not like it there
Shut off from the light of day

Into the darkness
The place I call home
There I shall stay
It was a mistake for me to roam

My guide is my faith
My strength and courage are my shield
You may try to stop me
To that temptation I cannot yield

Into the darkness
I must go alone
Perhaps never to return
Even though the cold chills me to the bone

Fear not for me
The choice is mine to make
There will be comfort for me there
In the memories that I take....
