If you see black, you know which way to go.
If you see black, you know what's in the light.
If you see black, you can taste the tender fruit,
But be careful to return in same form.
If you see black, you can climb the music,
Of the harmonizing flute, nearly dusk.
If you know black, never show another,
For the pathway is obscure to the shore.
If you know black, your power is unclear,
To test the stones of wall,
Or walk near it at all,
Summons fear.
If you've found black, be careful not to ride,
The pale horse inside, she'll absorb your every care,
Oh, the mare.
If you feel black pulling at your soul, to take the trip again,
You know that you will never leave in same form.
If you hurt back, you'll be sure to feel them,
Maybe I can guide you,
But there are dangers, mind you,
Powers be.
If you see black, you know just what to do,
If you see black, cultivate for peace of mind.
