This Present Darkness

Swirling clouds of black

Mirror my state of being

Once more this feeling of death

Once more this deathly plight

Oh but to plunge the depths

Of sadness, sorrow and grief

If only, to meet my inner darkness

Face to Face

See through my own delusion

And know my night is not merely endured

Till morning's soft light dawns my soul

To be still

Within this present darkness

Not separate from the light

Black and White sojourning together

In Swirling rays of beauty

The Sun piercing through dark Clouds

As Rain veils the evening Light

Flowing one into the other

I've no need to resist

I can be present

Within this darkness

Sometime the darkness can overtake us.
"I've no need to resist
I can be present
Within this darkness"

The Archon: This is breathtaking; how gorgeous. You begin with such sadness and then the journey begins and it is woven so well! It's absolutely heavenly; perfect flow, beautiful imagery, and then the realization that everything's alright. The ending is fantastic; the title befitting. I love it. You are so talented!!! Thank you so very much. Dale

Ahh.. that ever fight to burn darkness, opposing it continually.. i like the twist in the end, and the two toned word: darkness
