Darkness was a shroud that needed to drift into outer space In the wee hours of the morning it creeps back Somehow, it is banished or it is hidden from others so they don't see In silence and quiet there is a profound wisdom Too much deafening noise out there coming from too many sources Tired of listening to those who want to hear themselves talk Listening to a world dealing with challenges and changes Since coming out of the darkness , the middle suits me for now That is where I am today
