Power of Darkness
I have been here as long as you care to remember. I was the first to envelop and coddle you when you were but a seed, bringing you comfort and solace. As you grew and blossomed, I filled you with disquiet of the unknown and unease.
Despite your fears, I am what you need to sleep. I lurk silently behind your eyelids and then transport you to places you have never been when they close.
I am spread further than you could ever imagine or possibly see. You attempt to remove me from your life, but I am everywhere you do not see. Waiting patiently.
You sigh with relief when the ostentatious glowing ball of heat in the sky temporarily returns to save you from me. But I am always somewhere you cannot see and will return to you again soon.
You try to block and hide from me with your laughable attempts to recreate that ball. While you make it increasingly harder for me, I still fill every corner of your life. I spread misty, inky tendrils everywhere you do not see. You can shine a light on me and attempt to remove me from your life, but I am there in the shadows, waiting for my time again.
I hold stars and occupy infinite distances. Tiny pinpricks of light that hold your stare and your wonder. But I know them as well as I know you. I know you all. Hold you all equally.
I envelop insight and ignorance. What you do not know is hidden in my folds. I hold fear and facts that you are desperate to resolve. I enlighten and frighten you, blanket you in blissful ignorance and deny you.
I will be the last thing you see before you return to seed. Still holding mystery and mystique, but then, maybe you finally understand, as darkness is all you have left.
