I turned off the light,
And my mind was surrounded by darkness.
It washed over me in waves,
Slowly lulling me into the waiting murkiness.
I welcomed it with arms wide open.
My mind finally had the chance to shut down,
And I could just breathe.
The waiting darkness ushered me in,
And took off my troubled mind like a coat.
When the light went off
I was at ease.
The darkness offered me sweet memories,
And cradled me in its long arms.
With no light,
There were no distractions.
Just empty shadows and comforting silence.
My mind encompassed by the dark
I drifted off,
And escaped the day.
Time to think
But no need to,
Darkness came in
And washed away the worries.
I was soothed by the black,
And floated away into the lightless night.
