Darkness
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
Written while in bed.... if you hadn't figured that out lol
