Dark Nights
Drapes pulled closed afraid to go outside
So many steps
Fear to travel not only down but back up
Down is a world of fear
Up is a world of fear as well
A fear no one you may know may experience
Craving for silence but seeking sound
Wishing for the light yet burrowing in the darkness
Distance but fear of being lost
When that final twitch comes
But relief
Dreams are here
Sunlight
The blinds no matter how close can keep out the burning light
Twitch
Turn
Roll
Hide
She arrives and craves for you
No escaping from her light or heat you arise
Make your way to an open space
Head tilted to the skies
The feeling of her abundance upon your skin
Even if for but five minutes
You’ve seen the sunlight
Through your darkness
Even just for a moment
Just one step
One thought
One promise to yourself
One day
One sunshine
One sunset
Oneself.
