Comfortable Darkness

A moment of clarity

As I sit here enjoying the darkness that only the dead of night can bring, for darkness is where my comfort hides. The only light that has braved to break through the thick blanket of blackness that surrounds me, is the s

oft glow of a fire slowly burning with pride. Dominate and uncontrollable, it calmly burns within it's stone cave. Built as a means to contain the raw power he only element of fire can produce.

As I wrap myself in the warmth of my blanket and get comfortable, I am now able to appreciate the quietness and isolation of this slumbering house. As I listen to the silence , with the company of the solitude that seems to never leave my side, but in this very moment, I am grateful for it.

Slowly my body begins to relax and my subconscious proceeds to clear itself of the thoughts that have cluttered my perception . I lay silently with heart and mentality open, listening to the wisdom and clarity that only come from complete tranquility. For silence and solitude is what will give you the key that can unlock the powers that will expose you to yourself. It will unlock the door that will lead you to the explanation and understanding that you have so longed for. The moment of clarity shall only come to you in that moment of peace.

For only silence and solitude can provide you the explanation behind the trials and tribulations that have burdened you for so long. You will come to the realization that the burdens that have plagued you all this time, in fact, reside buried within yourself.

As I lay in this moment of complete serenity, feeling the warmth of the fire, lightly crackling as it burns. I begin to smile with the realization that I, myself, am my own worst enemy while simultaneously, my own best friend. I now understand that I have always been, and forever will be, the creator of my own destiny.

Having read this over I think the only thing you should watch out for it the amount of times you repeat the same phrases. For example 'As I' is used to begin three different paragraphs, and two sentences in the second paragraph.
I enjoyed reading this because I can relate to sitting in front of a fire thinking about my life. You did a good job explaining that sometimes you need to stop and just be alone with yourself.

After reading your review I rewrote one of my other articles. I would like you to read The Replica of a Glass Princess and see if that's any better.

Thank you for pointing that out. I will definitely watch out for that in the future
