Darkness…..

Listen….

Close your eyes and listen….

The sounds of the night… Pure, pure darkness….

The chirping cricket, so close but yet so far. Calling its mate, calling patiently…

The loud frogs in the water singing their songs together, what a symphony …

Dogs barking in the distance, a warning bark, an excited bark…..

The darkness fills every cell every molecule around you. The peace, the calm that washes over you.

High up the infinite stars, galaxies far far away. The moon shining, promising no matter what there is hope. There is hope in the darkest of dark days and nights- there is always hope.

The darkness….. so comforting, so consoling…….

No-one to see…. No-one to judge…..No-one to destroy the quiet, the peace, the calm…

Darkness my old friend. You envelope me, my world, you cacoon around me. Protecting me from all that is out there.

How I need you darkness my friend…..
