Darkness

Darkness abides in all of us.  
Darkness abides even amongst the best of us.  
and in the worst of us,  
Darkness not only abides but it reigns!  

Darkness abides in our hearts  
seeks room in our mind  
and if permitted,  
it not only inhabits  
yet it creates and establishes its kingdom  
 
Darkness is patient  
Darkness stands in the background as light reigns  
a mere shadow, it remains  
Darkness never grows impatient  
 
When light fades  
and day passes,  
giving room to night.  
Darkness moves and whispers  
and to the faint-hearted  
Darkness finds room not only to dwell,  
yet to be!  
 
Darkness reigns where light fails  
Even in the mist of light, it remains  
It is just there, invisible!  
Yet in the worst of us  
Darkness absorbs light!  
 
Darkness lives  
Darkness feeds  
Darkness absorbs  
Darkness whispers  
faint, weak yet dark whispers  
Its voice is soft and cold  
Its persuasive and manipulative  
Its will is strong and cunning  
Its threshold is binding and paralyzing  
Its breath is lime with scents of mold and corruption  
 
Darkness is not merely an absence of light
Darkness is substance  
Darkness is texture  
Darkness is real and  
Darkness is tangible  
And to those willing to accept it  
Darkness is a spirit  
 
In the Genesis of time  
Darkness represented all things evil and corrupt  
Darkness was disorder perfectly ordered  
and when light came  
Darkness was separated from light  
and it was thus given the name "NIGHT"  
 
Darkness rules when light fails
yet in time, it has expanded it's kingdom even in light  
Darkness has found inhabitants in idle souls  
Which opened a doorway for it to move even during the day  
 
Now darkness is found in all of us  
 
Darkness abides in all of us  
Darkness abides even amongst the best of us  
and in the worst of us  
Darkness not only abides but it reigns!
