Hello Darkness

By

Yamikani Otaniel

As the sun shows its last brightness,
I anticipate you, my friend, with a weak smile.
Knowing through the endless void,
I am to face you, after a while.

As I gaze into your nothingness,
Silence settles down my wandering soul.
In your depths, my thoughts are awakened
Right when I begin to lose control.

For in you, darkness, I see clearly
What light could never show.
Alone, I meet the hidden self,
The one I barely know.

You drift softly into my mind,
Like a sweet movie at night.
For in you, darkness, my visions rise
When I close my eyes away from light.
