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
