Darkness came in secret
But obviously
He was an evident whisper
Like water so hot it becomes freezing
His gentle grip tightened
And I became ensnared
Darkness
A cloak of nothing
Nothing with nothing hands
Nothing hands that hold me tight
Nothing, Nothing, Nothing
How can I escape this Night,
This Nothing
This Darkness
I fought
I pounded on the Nothing knuckles
Squeezing me
I clawed at the Nothing fingernails
Pricking me
But Darkness is only defeated by Light
And Light cannot be found in Nothing
But as I struggled
I saw a glimmer
Small at first
But then thousands
Light in the Nothing?
How could this be?
But it was there
A sparkling invitation to Life
So the Light shone through the Darkness
And Darkness was defeated
For little did Darkness know
That Nothing is the place of the stars
Stars that give hope
And Light that sets me free
