In the darkness of the night

Sometimes within ourselves comes everlasting peace..

In the darkness of the night
I search for you
My hands feeling the walls
Of your mind.

Your thoughts
I softly touch
Flooding them with everlasting light
Let them carry you I say.

Along the path of moments of peace
To sanction, surreal dreams
Wonder of all tomorrows
Take away your deepest sorrows.

Softly I sooth you..
Caressing your inner memory
Of a simple moment in time
Captured of the utmost joy.

'Remember'
I softly whisper.

Like a breeze
I am.

Feel me move past you?
Within you?

The flames softly flickering
In your thoughts.

Of me
Of peace
Dreams of treasured thoughts
Distant music of far-away lands.

Hear it,
Playing softly?
Over and over again
Soothing your every senses.

Listen..

Ahhh, yes...
Close your eyes
Let it gently caress the darkness around.

Oh the sweetness it brings...

Play on..

Play on..

Yes...

In the darkness of the night
I search for you.

My hands feeling the walls
Of your mind.

Really awesome, I really felt these lines:
"Feel me move past you?
Within you?

The flames softly flickering
In your thoughts."
Good job!

[Malcolm J. Watt]

Killer. Though the seduction of the grave has it's appeal the creative mind needs a certain light unlike what can be seen. So searching the darkness will yield not peace only decay. See you've got me thinking!

[Becca Bishop]
