Darkness
It comes
when least expected wraps around the heart
takes away the hope of the soul;
it blinds the mind
steels the process of thought, holds lie as truth
confounds the inner spirit;
there is within a subtle quiet
chilling and clinging to the air unmoved, hovering, looming
reality just out of reach
lost in the darkness that overcomes
out of touch with time, afraid of change
exceeding understanding
a blackness that overwhelms
seeping into hearts and souls, lost to knowledge
dying to breathe new life;
it comes and goes
as easily as the passing of light in day
and before we realize, everything and everyone slips away
into the darkness.
