Darkness approaches
My eyes see the flickering
of shadows
Or is it my imagination taking flight?
The nights have filled
with dark thoughts
Restless movements-uneasy sleep
My body in angst-needing release
It is now that I realize
Those shadows are thoughts
that dare not surface during the light of day
Morbid thoughts-dark thoughts
They come out to play with my emotions
During the less guarded moments of the night
Feeding on my fears of the future and those of the present
The early morning hours
The shadows start to fade
As the sounds of the morning doves bring
welcome relief
Signaling the start of a new day
