Enter the Darkness

Enter the Darkness

Dreading the evening

The night

The cold, chilly

Air/

I inquire within

Why?/

The Darkness

Has to Be

The Shadow

Must be

Attended to

Now/

And during this space

Of cocooning

Of warm tea

Soft blankets

Crisp air/

What mysteries does

The Shadow hold?/

Dark matter, dark energy

So much unknown

In the One Verse

So much occult

In the galaxies

Upon galaxies/

So much mystery

Waiting

Asking

Why?
