Darkness, the absence of light
arrives with the coming of night.
Instilling in some a foreboding fear
of demons and goblins getting too near.
I look forward to the time without sun,
the quietness and serenity allows me to have fun.
Being able to do as I will
without having other duties to fill.
Inner peace has always been a struggle for me
but during this time it enters with glee.
To embrace such a wonderful feeling
can also set my senses reeling.
To know how others can live their life
is something priceless, not forceable by knife.
A few moments of this is all I can afford
before I must hear a disharmonious chord.
Then my world comes crashing back
and dreams of tranquility all fade to black.
