The Lure of Darkness

Eager waking, darkness nostalgic, the assuring cover of lightless resonance

Time to assure yourself of your existence, to reflect without the distractions; soul pulsates with cosmic energy

Days meant to sleep, withdrawn from the push that propels everyone towards hurried existence

When you cannot even listen to yourself, your conscience medicated with daily dose of nonsense

No one can reassure life like a balanced darkness, watching the cosmic transformations and shift

Feels like a comfortable cradle, the universe’s hum like a lullaby soothes the soul

Renergized with pure energy again, the lure of darkness is a blessing – time to surrender
