The darkness seeps in
The night takes hold
Everything is still
No sounds
Clouds shroud the stars
Stagnant air hangs firm
I carve a path ahead
Looking towards morning
Reaching for light
Searching for hope
Safe in knowing
The sun will rise again

Here’s hoping the sun will always rise again.
Thanks, I sure hope so!
The first half felt like it could be from a horror novel which was very cool! I love the imagery throughout:)
Thanks a lot! I am glad you liked it!
