Dear Darkness

My sweet darkness
The soul that speaks to you
Knows your name
I call you forth to hold
When my broken heart overflows
And my spirit
Numb
Cries out for a friend
To share pain like sisters
Lost and shattered
This pottery mocks the clay
Fears molding tears into words
They are but deep ravines
Calling your name
Dear darkness
Forsake me not tonight
I have yet more art to craft
From this troubled mind
My sweet darkness...
