A Refuge in the Darkness
My world never slows down for me,
always spinning faster and faster.
Now and then I slip from its grasp,
leaving me in the warm darkness,
the only thing I can depend on.
The darkness, like a mirage,
appears when I need it the most.
Staring at me when I wake,
waiting for my return
To take my pain away in my sleep.
This blackness, my refuge
keeps me warm in its dark shadows,
waits in the night �til the sun rises,
bringing more cold days to come.
The darkness becomes a part of me.
Every time it engulfs me, absorbs me.
The blackness of the night clears through time
and the damage of blinding light fades
into the moon�s graceful light.
This darkness will not last forever.
The light will find it, destroy it.
Leaving me to find my world again,
to live on its chaotic journey.
All I can do is hold on tighter until I slip again.
Bringing me back to my home, my comfort.
Bringing me to my refuge.
