Poetry

Dark

I find solace in the silence

I find tranquility with only the noises of nature

I find peace in the dark

Ever cascading

Ever growing

Never ending

Much like its mate light

But somehow

I have found comfort in its essence

I find peace in its solitude

I find air where breaths aren't taken

I find calm in the ever growing darkness

Maybe I should fear the creatures that lay and wait

Yet I don't

Creatures older than stories can portray

Creatures that are merely misunderstood

Creatures merely forgotten

Creatures merely waiting for love's embrace

We are not so different

Wandering through the dark merely seeking love,

Learning to love ourselves first

I find solace in the silence

I find tranquility with only the noises of nature

I find peace in the dark

Ever cascading

Ever growing

Never ending
