A cry of a lone bird in the blackness
Silence
Stillness
This is my world

Of glaring sunlight it is devoid
Its message of rejuvenation rejected
My soul an empty void
Shunning all that lives in light
My world is the darkness of night

Ouestioning  eyes
I care not to see
My answers to the brazen curious
I try to refrain from giving
For I will offer no quarter
They would be cutting and direct

I have shuttered my emotions
Seeking only the calm and cool of the dark
I chose to ignore this beating  heart
The glowing brightness they call life
Withdrawing to the shadows of my world
And the darkness of the night
