The Black Corner

This is a place of healing
I must be buried with the days
That run like sand
Run through my fingers

Here I can find a grain of gold
In the dust
That covers me
My head, hands and feet

    This is the place, this is the room

In the black corner of the room
Hidden from view
I lay down and fall through
Through the cracks on the wall

The black corner of the room
Hidden from view
A splinter of light cuts through
Through the cracks on the wall

How did I find this place of healing?
It's hidden from view

How can one splinter of light
Shine through the cracks?

    This is the place, this is the room
