Darkness envelopes you like a cloak
Sometimes it catches you by the throat
Like a big, warm, furry coat, pulled tight
Sometimes it hugs you like a summer vest, breezy and light
Darkness comes whether welcome or not
Darkness comes if it's cold or hot
If Darkness is not welcome at your door
Take the time to know yourself, explore
There maybe stress in your life that keeps you seeking the light
But make the time to form a routine
And suddenly you will be able to see
That Darkness comes before the light
Rests your body and mind
Just search for a haven and you will find
A friend in Darkness when it descends
A friend to greet you when the day ends
I think we all struggle with sleeping at times whether it's work, family, finances
I sleep a lot better these days and writing helps with that but also I have a better work life balance, I no longer have a stressful job and I'm not constantly rushing somewhere.
