hello, darkness, my old friend

the sky is luxurious blue-black velvet.
expensive diamonds glitter on its surface;
they were placed there by a loving hand--

i
open
my
arms

and feel its comforting weight settling
on my shoulders. an old friend
surrounds me in a cheerful embrace--

i
welcome
my
friend

the darkness and wear her like a coat.

(C) Copy written, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Darkness is sometimes source of stability although at times it evokes fear. anyway environment gets more stable as darkness takes over. Hope it comforted you and took you to bed to get a wonderful night's sleep.

I think I like this the best of anything you
have posted on AD, Karla. Perhaps because it
struck a hidden chord in me.
