The Vividness of Black

I revel in the darkness enveloping me

As I gaze at the flirtations of shadows and lights upon the wall

I can hear every raindrop rejoicing on joining its family

My ears; alert to the world moving, breathing and creaking

My senses heightened

I can feel the breeze caress my heels

I'm aware of my bosom heaving up and down

Like the reaction to the touch of a passionate lover

The darkness, it soothes me

Coloring the world around me in shades of black and grey

I lie on my bed, mesmerized by the colors (or the lack of it)

Acutely aware of the vivid painting of the black world around me
