An ode to Darkness

Ode to Darkness.  An ode to darkness Oh, darkness, how you wrap us in your cloak, A shroud of mystery and wonder evoke, In your embrace we find a certain peace, A respite from the light that does not cease. You are the canvas upon which stars are hung, The absence of light that creates a song unsung, You are the refuge for those who seek solace, A veil that hides the world's harshness. In you, we find the unknown and the unseen, The fears and the dreams that lurk within, You are the shadow that hides our face, The unspoken thoughts we dare not trace. In your realm, we are free to roam, To wander and explore a world unknown, You are the pathway to our deepest desires, The veil that shields us from the world's fires. Oh, darkness, how you soothe our troubled soul, A balm that heals and makes us whole, In your eternal embrace, we find our rest, A welcome relief from life's endless quest. So here's to you, dear darkness, we sing, Your beauty and power forever bring, In your embrace, we find our home, And in your mystery, we find our own
