Lacking Luminosity

​

I open my eyes to darkness of night

Chaos unfolds, a flash before me

I flee my surroundings, to somewhere else

Where I am alone, and it’s only myself.

I enjoy the silence, and I realize I’ve gone too far

Not turning back to where I came from.

Silence and darkness chills the air,

and I whisper into nothingness.

​

Let me stay in these shadows

Let me die in peace, if only for a moment

Enveloped in a forest amongst fire, doomed.

A droplet amongst storms, only one of many.

A whistle amongst hurricanes, voice drowning

I wish to never return to surviving death

for I have found a place of peace in chaos, this gloom.

In myself I rejoice, for I have found my light.

In this cold and dark, there is hope.

If only for a moment.
