Untitled

The darkness surrounds me,
Envelopes me, consumes me.
I feel its cool touch against my face,
and I am comforted.
Staring into this vast abyss,
into the far-reaching depths,
The ever-churning sea that is my mind

Now is soothed.
It is peaceful and honest, this darkness,
An old friend waiting to lift the worries from my shoulders,
A forgotten lover to hold me close, to protect me.
Non-assuming,
non-judgmental,
without design, motive, or desire.
It just is.
