Darkness

Close your eyes. Go ahead, close them. What do you see? Nothing right. Just darkness. Nothing, nothing but utter, complete darkness. What does this darkness bring or escape from you? Does it frighten or comfort? As far as your eyes can tell you, there's nothing there. Just the dark, black mist in front of you. What does it represent? Our troubles and fears? Or maybe it's our escape, our portal into our dream world. For me, this black mist is one that obtains every feeling you can imagine. What do little children fear the most? The dark. What is your reaction when something scares you? Close your eyes to darkness. What do you do when you try to remember something pleasant, or when you try to shut something out? Close your eyes. How about when you experience a wonderful feeling and you just want to savor the moment? I rest my case. We all turn to darkness for various reasons, whether they be good or bad. The darkness is apart of us, whether we like it or. We just have to accept it, for what it is. The incomprehensible darkness.
