In Shambles ❀˖°

The darkness that glows

When all is dark, it's hard to find your shadow
Nowhere you look that you can see
You feel it around, you feel it close
But nowhere you look that you can see

Walk through the night, the eyes are closed
The mind is alive, inward it goes

There's nothing to see, yet everything to see
What's been hidden now shines brightly
Eternal darkness, know not of the light
They are primitive, exist since an unknown time

Why they are there, the mind does not know
Has no answer for something that old
They are pitch black, motionless, and cold
But somehow, it is the darkness that glows

Wander through the night, the eyes remain closed
The body's still, the heart's beating slow

Wander through the night, the mind resigns
Embrace by darkness, the soul is kind

Wander through the night, a balance of life
Light has no value; it's darkness that rules
Here, nothing's exposed, nothing has to hide
Doesn’t make a difference, for the being of unknown time

All suffering ends, all achievement meaningless
All that remains is nothingness
No good, no bad, no hope, no despair
Just as it is, a breath of fresh air.
