Blackest Night

“Don’t compare your path with anybody else’s. Your path is unique to you.” ~ Ram Dass

The chaos consumes me

Avoiding the news isn’t helping

The madness finds me

 

Taking refuge in the studio isn’t working

The mixed colours are dark and menacing

The brush strokes are violent at times

 

This mantle of dread has become tiresome

Exhaustion, an unwelcomed companion

When will the darkness lift
