about

Last December, I moved into a cold, empty cabin. There was an old wooden chair on the porch. I carried it inside, lit a candle and sat down by the woodstove and this song was gifted to me as I slept... In my dreams, I reconnected with Darkness and her companion the Wolf... Our story continues.

lyrics

I'd been living up here in my lonely cabin.
After the cold of the Winter came
I saw her outside, standing in the Shadows
She whispered, "Darkness is my name."
I said, " Come in and sit down by my fire."
She seemed surprised I'd ask her in.
Then I blew out the single candle
So our conversation could begin

(Chorus)
She said, "Why do you fear my Darkness?"
I said, " Why do you fear the light?"
"You're wrong" she said," I don't fear it...
It's just My Other Side.
It's just My Other Side."
.........................................................................
We talked and talked until the morning
She laid her calloused hands on mine
She said, "Can I stay here in your dark cabin
While outside, my Brother brightly shines?"

So we sat here in the darkness
Me, and a goddess with a sad, beguiling laugh
And I began to embrace the shadows
she led me down a different path.

(Chorus)

I still live here on this cold mountain
when I'm lucky, she comes and visits me
I still blow out all my candles
She smiles and says, "You still remember me"

She says, "I see you don't fear my Darkness anymore.
As I never feared the light.
You don't have to fear it
It's just Our Other Side.
It's just Our Other side....
It's just Our Other Side."
.....................................................................................

I just realized she said "Our..."
