Have you ever had the feeling that
D a r k n e s s
is a tangible thing?
Like a cloud just out of your reach.
You can breathe it in,
But if you let the fear of it rule you, it will consume you, invade your existence, suffocating you.
But if you are at peace with it,
Acknowledging it -without giving into it-
It with exist in harmony with you, breathing in
And
Out
Of your space.
Some days, the darkness jeers and forms a thick wall before you
Blocking your vision
And other days, it is stretched so thin you can see through it
Into the known.
You must break through the darkness with a beam of light from
Within.

Each day I am faced with a challenge,
Should I just give in to the darkness?
Or should I continue to fight?
