 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Darkness


The sunset sinks into the sea
darkness flows over me, around and under me…
like a shroud shielding me from all that I might see or feel,
releasing me from all that I know is real…
my eyes are darkened so that I do not have to look upon my world
this beautiful cold dark world where man has lost the battle with darkness…
and now reeks vengeance for all that he will never be
all he could never be…
for talking of God does not make man God…
yet he takes life that is not his to take and calls himself God
spreading more darkness into the hearts of those weaker souls
that have few goals… other than to please themselves
now the sun has set and become the darkness…
that flows over me, around and under me…
and as long as I am still…
nothing can harm me.
