Darkness
("Winter's Edge", 2018, original encaustic)
Darkness
Darkness darkness be the pillow
That pulls me in and holds me down
When all around the light had faded
And nowhere within it can be found
Somewhere some one is now crying
Out for love or something near
While in silence the dark is calling
A soothing sound but void of cheer
As I sit with dog attentive
Without a clue what humans know
The day outside still bright with promise
Yet in I’m trapped nowhere to go
A pain of loss without dimension
A lack of love for life at hand
A treading of these stale waters
A nowhere place for nowhere man
Come, oh come, bring resolution
For it can’t end in such a way
From the dark a light is growing
The promise of a solstice day…
