Enveloped by darkness
I sink into the night.
Comfort washes over me.
The evening veil,
so impenetrable falls.
Shielding my face.
Hiding my emotions
from those who would try,
to see into my soul.
I walk blindly.
The earth tells me where I am going.
I feel as though time has stopped.
I move through crowds that seem to be standing still.
The wind continues to carry me.
And then,
it stops.
I look up and see only the moon.
Floating in a sea of black.
It's pure light washes over me.
The dark veil of night is lifted.
And my eyes become windows to the gods.
