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
