Still In The Dark

It's still dark outside, and the world is asleep.
I find solace in that.
For a while everything is still.
Peaceful, and calm.

Troubles don't exist.
Comfort is found on my pillow,
covered with my quilt of hope.

There is peace in the quiet.
No outside distractions.
Silence.

All is well.
Even in such a broken world.
For now there is tranquility.
For now.

I embrace these moments.
My mind is not cluttered.
My heart aches, as it always does,
for you.

I feel closer to you at times like this.
It's just easier
when everything is still.
There is peace with the tears.
I hug my pillow.

One day I will leave this place
and fly past the stars...

But for now, I am here,
This dark place is just for a while.
Oh, soon -
Daybreak will bring the sun, the busyness of a new day.

In the dark everything is still.
It's easier that way.
When day comes to visit,
it's another day without you,
and that is not so easy.

I won't think of that now.
I rest, broken as I am, holding you close to my heart,
uninterrupted by time,
In the stillness of
now.
