An old nemesis visited me last night.
I had awaken to the air feeling extremely dark and heavy.
There was a deepness to the night that went beyond the norm.
His presence was immediately felt before I realized
Walking in our darkened home as my wife slept soundly
It truly appeared that the one night light struggled against the doom
I felt him following me, just out of armās reach.
In the bathroom I avoided the mirror
as I felt his presence more distinctly.
Acknowledging him I offered no thought save for
Your presence holds no power here
I hive risen beyond your influence.
With that he vanished and the air lightened.
The Journey of a thousand miles
