As time goes by
it is darkness which provides peace
Accompanied by its kin
named silence
The brightness of light
with its distractions of
clarity and description
bring confusion and sadness
for the disappointment and failure
that live with me always
It is when I cannot see
when I cannot hear
that my life becomes tolerable
My thoughts of all that should be
take the place of all that is
And when it is my time
I will not go to the brightest light
My steps will be towards
the twilight of what lies beyond
