I saw the sun

Bury itself in the horizon.

Night brought the darkness,

That I know so well.

 

Four walls with no windows,

To peer at life as it is.

Better to know the darkness,

Than the evil outside these walls.

 

To walk the quagmired streets,

Waiting to bury you in.

But what is there to lose

If I should fall in.

 

I,  the temple of my thoughts,

Wandering the haze of day.

Knowing there is no tomorrow

That will let this sorrow go away.

 

So in the darkest corner I find

The peace that darkness brings.

There the dreams become reality,

And I am free again..

And may the light follow
all your paths *George*
even in darkness....

Even in the darkness Psalms 18:28 sings
Your poem gently reminds me to know the darkness
of the world is everywhere, but then reassures me
the chambers of our souls are protected from it's evil

Those walls can certainly appear closer at times, dreaming is a good thing.

"Four walls with no windows." That says an awful lot, George. You described hiding well here; and in these lines were able to convey that it is 'freedom' gained, not 'reality shrugged.' Good expression. ~~ Diana

I am one of those who find comfort in the darkness. It is the "dark" of my mind that troubled me for many, many years. I have even come to terms with it. Life, George, is good.
