Joyful Darkness

Just traveling through
As I do relinquishing the daylight 
In love with the darkness
For I can rest and watch the shadows play
With my imagination 
Where the weary repose
Joyful darkness
Tales of men and women
Reaching out with limbs about the trees
Gliding across a paper moon
A hint of pearl around their soul
Searching for what was so long ago 
Joyful darkness 
Perplexed in a forest of the barren departed
Forever broken hearted
On an endless journey home

beautiful piece portraying another side of darkness. So many fear the dark because you don't know what lurks in the shadows. Great write. Continue to share.
