SHELTER OF DARKNESS
Hidden from the light, in deep crevices of insanity, not
Allowing ourselves to venture out.
No the truth would burn like the intense heat
of an oven set to broil.
The light shows all and no one wants to be seen.
No, we hide…
We hide from society, so many in their little niches.
Do we not all need to hide?
Night dwellers we have become, there is no light then, just dimness from drunken eyes seeing nothing but agitated drunken foolery.
Our daily order, all normal reason, has dissolved as we evolved into our present state as nocturnal prowlers,
slithering, from one dark corner to the next, in search of the next crushing blow of our sanity.
We strike out against it and it has been chiseled away….
Much time has it taken, reality was built tough!
Not so tough that it can’t be torn down, like a giant tumbled by a thin thread stretched along its path.
We scurry about, hoping for intangibles to appear, so that we have something to cling upon, like tiny pieces of wood from a shipwrecked life, we reach out to find something to keep us afloat.
Dismal is the night, when no one is there to share in our dismay.
Thoughts, drifting lightly, like sheets hung to dry in a light summer’s breeze.
Back and forth they go, slipping away, giving way to the next, but alas, that same dark thought, with hurricane force. Blows in wiping away all others….
So again as the light starts to shine we grab our fire and scamper back to the
