Some say the sun
was brighter that day,
But I beg to
differ on that reasoning
Because the sun
was never there,
As if it was
hiding behind the moon
Like a lunar
eclipse.
Awakening in the
midst of darkness
It can be quite
disturbing at first
Your eyes and mind
playing tricks
Like the shadows
upon the wall
Dancing around
like Pan.
I must be in the
twilight zone
Because all this
seems so surreal –
One moment I am in
a dream,
And the next I am
in a void.
Am I an old man
that sleeps all day?
The curse of being
a night owl
I suppose,
daybreak can wait
Because the
darkness lingers here
In the cornea of
my fragile eyes
Embracing me
Watching me
Waiting
As if there were
no light at all.
I am sure it could be a curse to be a night owl and be wide awake at night. The darkness can be eerie sometime, especially when one feels it watching, watching. And one doesn't know by whom!
ReplyDeleteI actually feel pretty safe in the dark. Sure you can't see anything nearly as well, but that is when being quite and listening comes in handy. I like how calm the night can be.
DeleteWe need darkness to heal, hence the winter. Such wonderful things can grow in the dark, too. Also, the fact that the darkness has to wait implies that at some point there is light; balance is a great thing to have. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a ying and yang principle to life isn't there. I've always enjoyed a little of both in my life because sometimes there are moments when either one can suit a person's desires. Also, whose to say that darkness can't be a good thing.
