Darkness rolls in,
Soft and soothing,
Gently stroking my cheek,
Wiping away my tears of despair,
Lifting me off my knees,
It washes away my wrinkles of sorrow,
Helps rejuvenate my face with happiness,
Tendrils of darkness rinse away my hardness,
I feel the corners of my lips lift,
And finally I realize,
What many others have already realized ,
That the darkness too can make you smile .
