Total Darkness

Darkness, oh darkness, how you wrap us in your cloak, You're like a mystery, that we can't help but evoke. You hide the world from us, and keep us in the night, And it's hard to find our way, when we're without light. But there's something about you, that's also beautiful and deep, You're like a canvas, that's waiting for us to leap. You hold the stars and moon, and all the secrets they keep, And it's hard not to be in awe, when we're standing at your feet. You're like a refuge, for those who need to hide, And it's comforting to know, that we can always confide. You're like a friend, who's there when we're feeling low, And it's hard not to be grateful, for the comfort that you bestow. Darkness, oh darkness, you're both a curse and a boon, You're like a mirror, that reflects the light of the moon. You're like a teacher, who reminds us of our own light, And it's hard not to be inspired, when we're standing in your sight. You're like a lover, who's waiting for us to explore, And it's hard not to be tempted, by the secrets that you store. You're like a storyteller, who's weaving tales of old, And it's hard not to be enchanted, by the stories that you've told. You're like a journey, that takes us to the unknown...
