I have bumped up against it time and time again.
The darkness
Whether from within or from without
I am not entirely sure.
It has been visiting me since the beginning
It feels like it is part of my being
It is part of the social consciousness
What some call the Devil
I have been visited by on a few occasions.
As long as the light is more constant
As long as I understand
As long as I love
And feel the passion of my heart
The darkness is but an occasional visitor.
The Journey of a thousand miles
