Poem - Lights Out
Lights Out
I have come to the borders of sleep,
The unfathomable deep Forest where all must lose
Their way, however straight,
Or winding, soon or late;
They cannot choose.
There is not any book
Or face of dearest look
That I would not turn from now
To go into the unknown
I must enter and leave alone
I know not how.
EDWARD ThOMas
