I Am Darkness

I am darkness But be not afraid For I am not evil For evil knows no hour And is seldom hindered by the light of day I am darkness I am an equal partner to the light For the evening and the morning are one day And it is good I am darkness I bring rest for your tired body Quiet for your weary mind And peace for your troubled soul I am darkness I wait impatiently for the end of day And often disregard the morning To rest quietly in the shadow of the sun But I dance in the silent night I reach far into the lofty sky I grasp at the distant stars And cling to the very earth under your feet I am darkness And I am good So come, find rest for your tired body Enjoy my quiet for your weary mind And drink deeply from my ocean of peace
