Darkness
People fear it
And I suppose at times that is wise
But not this
This, right here, is perfection

There is no light
Not even a splinter of it
Just a tunnel of darkness that swallows my thoughts
Should I fear this?
How can I? It leads the Way

Warmth envelops me
the soft covers radiate with comfort
and I cannot bring myself to move
would I ever want to?
Would anyone ever care?

The melody which plays is like no other
It carries me further deep
Like floating in an oceans water
Deep, dark and sweet
Tears build in my soul

This feeling right now
Is bliss
There is no stress
No thought about the past
No demons to attack

I have no fear
Not right now
Not right here
I don't want it to stop
This feeling

Breathing deep
I taste the cool air
I feel my heart beat
So steady and so strong
Like the drums of war

It gives me hope
In what He has given me
I know I cannot make it on my own
But here I lay
And breath in the Truth

I do not want to sleep
Because when I should wake
The light would take me from this place
And I must face the day
As I have so many others

But in this place
My desires change
The important things in life
Seem insignificant
And strange

Because in here
Everything has changed
And simply being
Seems enough to last
And fill my dreams

Slumber starts to call me
And still I resist
This voice of disappointment
Calling from the light
I begin to fall

These last few moments
I cherish them tight
I focus on the feeling
The warmth, the Life
The lack of light

Darkness
People fear it
And I suppose at times that is wise
But not this
This, right here, is perfection

It no longer brings me comfort  
I no longer feel it's warmth
It instead infects my mind
And darkens all my thoughts

I fight it's every calling
I deny it's every sign
For when the darkness takes me
The demons take my mind

They laugh at all my dreams
They show me all my fears
And never do they leave me
Until I'm brought to tears

It used to be my solace
My one true place of peace
But now it is my weakness
That makes me fear to sleep

The warmth has disappeared
And cold runs down my spine
I hear the voices calling
As they enter one more time

I pray for strength and armour
For a chance to sleep right through
Cause empty nights are rare to me
And the visions never new

I delay as long as possible
Denying what will come
And as my eyelids begin to drop
I brace for the war of one

I know I should not fear it
It cannot bring me harm
But every night it tears at me
Until I come undone

Why Lord do I see this
Why would you allow
For these things to enter me
And haunt me with such power?  

Can I not have peace once more
Can I not have sleep
Can I please feel it's warmth
And find solace in the deep
