Darkness Bright

Darkness oh darkness I ask myself “can it be ?” Or is it only me that am able to see So much light In the blackest of night Is it only me that finds comfort in the blackness of your womb? Is it only me that feel so free ? Released from the shackles that is life The every day struggle The strife? How can it be That what was once so feared Has now become revered What once was so damned Has become my solitude My silence my rest Darkness oh darkness Where others see monsters I see light The moon has become my partner Nothing more do I seek No desire for the sun No daylight do I crave As with it comes the chains The metamorphosis into being a slave The ever enduring chase after a life that forever in the day seems so far out of reach Darkness oh darkness How much wisdom within Ready to be unlocked Ready to be taught The promise of your own enlightenment The shelter from the light And yet, the paradox is so clear For in darkness I can see all that I really need That I hold dear And now I seem to understand Now I seem to grasp The night has locked within life,clarity and peace
