Darknesses

“And so of larger – Darknesses –
Those Evenings of the Brain –
When not a Moon disclose a sign –
Or Star – come out – within – “

-Emily Dickinson

Darknesses 

by Carmen H Gray

Sometimes I think

In the darkest nights

When the silence is too loud

And the vacuous emptiness

Leaves me feeling

Ungrounded

That’s when

I need to yield

To the unknown

Space

Yet to be born
