The demons of yesterday Meet the devils of tomorrow, Together they haunt me As I turn out the light. They circle my mind Dancing their dance, Thrashing and grinding Through and around Over and under. I toss and I turn Swivel this way and that, Try to escape their Tormenting calls. Try to stem the flow Of tears that they exorcise From the depths of me. Peaceful sleep so slow in coming, deliver me from these beasts of night, habitants of the dark, who hide in the shadows. Take me to peaceful dreams Of things longed for but unknown, Of yellow, orange, blue, green, red, Anything but this inky night That wraps itself around me Drawing me into the witchdoctor Bone throwing chanting dance Of salt water and sighs. "Time has told me not to ask for more, one day our ocean will find its shore" ~Nick Drake |

Good writing. I used to fear the dark until I realized the beauty of it when I used to get up at 4 a.m. in the morning and walk out to feed my two calves and other animals (on the farm many years ago) -- it was during that time I began to feel the peace of a quiet earth -- like the great man said, "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself." ..... but I hope you find peaceful dreams. |
