Sombre Embrace -

Nightfall reveals a different world

A silent womb of solace

A state where all concern is secondary

The strain upon my mind releases for a moment

As I float towards the morning

And when darkness falls, I wake to bathe in it’s grace

The scars upon my heart mending within this sombre embrace

I don’t want to wake into another burdensome day

Sunlight offers me no delight

The little beauty left in my world

Only reveals itself in the veil of late summer’s dusk
