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?
