Darkness
When the lights won't dim
And threaten to consume you
You will be safe here
When you close your eyes
The lights turn off around you
An elsewhere vigil
Yes, they will return
In time, all sensation does
But for now, darkness
Unseeing, unseen
The gateway to rest opens
On the unlit path
Move here like the bat
Feel your surroundings like skin
Embracing the night
Burn bright from within
Be the diamond's origin
Shine when shine is gone
The absence of light
Ushers possibilities
Mirrors left covered
The dozen roses
Will retain their complexion
Though the night persists
And threaten to consume you
You will be safe here
When you close your eyes
The lights turn off around you
An elsewhere vigil
Yes, they will return
In time, all sensation does
But for now, darkness
Unseeing, unseen
The gateway to rest opens
On the unlit path
Move here like the bat
Feel your surroundings like skin
Embracing the night
Burn bright from within
Be the diamond's origin
Shine when shine is gone
The absence of light
Ushers possibilities
Mirrors left covered
The dozen roses
Will retain their complexion
Though the night persists
