Drifting further and further to this place
I always feel so safe...My sanctuary of darkness...
And emptiness....Where I am always alone......
I come here from time to time and it seems each time for
Longer and longer............This time I do not want
To return...I long to stay hidden and safe....in my
Many saving shades of the night...Where I don't have to
Love anyone....trust anyone....miss anyone....have anyone
Leave me or betray me...or invade my mind, heart and soul
When out of the darkness...I see a gleaming light...
Just colorful enough to peak my curiousity..I Notice
it's no light at all...it's a storm...sweeping me away...
A Tropical Snowstorm taking me out of my safe haven to
Another....letting me know my "sanctuary of darkness"
Is no place to stay....for stay to long and nothing can
Penetrate those walls....not even a storm.....
So now I shall just visit my beautifully dark place
When the time is right...maybe even often...but....
never for to long!
