Void of any light.
Comforting me, soothing me,
Sounds of silence, late at night..
Midnight, my closest friend,
Welcoming me at the close of the day.
I sit and absorb my thoughts and explore,
My heart..my soul..and what they have to say.
I seem to breathe easier it seems,
When darkness is surrounding me.
I find answers that my soul is seeking,
I close my eyes that I may see.
This is my time, I am free to ponder,
Questions that demand an answer.
I must allow my soul this allotted time,
Lest it fester as with cancer.
Dark..cold..empty..bleak,
The night comes to my rescue.
Quiet..serene..peaceful..deep,
Essential to allow my soul to renew....
