Dark Silence

The silence surrounds me in its peace and tranquility

I close my eyes and it becomes part of me

Breathing in its splendor

I wait for it to take me

To hold me in its arms and caress my soul

Is this what is to become of my life?

To live in stillness and solitude?

Its dark shroud closing in like a casket lid over my soul

Forever holding me in its arms

Almost suffocating me in its shadows

Blackness surrounds me…………..
