<u>Darkness, dear friend</u>


    Afloat in darkness,


    I embrace the night.


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Cool calm tranquility,


    Devoid of fright.


    The moonlight is sweet


    Upon my cheeks


    And cool upon my tongue.


    The smell of peace and


    Promise of solitude.


    Reminds me of when I was young.


    Twilight dreams of made up things,


    That lurk in the shadows of home.


    But take me out into the realms of night


    And surely I shall roam.
