darkfall
this is darkfall when the night swallows the day allowing swooping wings of the unknown to test my courage. as a child I fought back fears to slowly fall asleep in silent screams and flowing tears. as I grew I danced with the night in a waltz of bravado and danger charged by taboo meanings and sexual innuendo always on the edge maturity never being mature. i survive into the evening and the darkfall of my life and find nothing to fear only the mirror image of my day. why did it take so long to realize darkfall is nothing to fear. that light only makes my eyes close and that without light my eyes adjust and see in the darkness a soft world of cool breezes and a quiet world of cricket chirps.
