Darkness
A sudden jolt that awakens me,
In the darkness of the peaceful night,
I search around to find the source,
Then I realise the light is gone,
Is it panic I feel or a sense of loss?
That I'm all alone in this tempest time,
To find the power to go back to sleep,
Or lay awake with imaginary foes,
It's a tough spot when the darkness speaks up,
All sorts of sounds and laughter boom,
So I clutch the blankets more,
And wish for dawn in my whirlwind mind.
