Embracing Darkness

The darkness closes in and blinds me.
Ever slowly, madness finds me,
Binds me to intangible bliss.
Embrace the moon in a silvery kiss.
I’m drowning, yes, I feel it inside.
They’ve not broken my flesh, worst,
They’ve shattered my pride.
Now comes time to hide.
I must run from the sounds
Of my traitorous loved ones.
They snarl at me. Hounds
Without hunters to guide them,
So I shall provide them
A chase. To the grove where the miracle glows,
A place where the miracle stone doth bestow
Upon me a curse, a blessing, a dream?
I am cleansed and forgiven when bathed in the stream
