From Dark to Light: Peace in Shadows

I feared the embrace of darkness
I now find in it peace,
Accepting the stillness,
The silence that won’t cease.
My eyes have adjusted,
My mind sees with new insight,
Soothed by the shadows that once haunted.

My strength, my will, slowly dulls
But though weakened, I am not afraid
For I know that light will soon cascade
And illuminate my darkness.
