the dark doesn’t scare me anymore

"...lightning streaked eclipse on the edge of tomorrow..."

the dark doesn’t scare me anymore

darkness doesn’t scare me
blackest dawn
lightning streaked eclipse
on the edge of tomorrow
descending
into the wild and crazy forever
the quiet and stillness no longer comforts as it used to
strangers ever so familiar haunting potential forthcoming directions at the inferno of the crossroads taking a path uncertain
a satisfied sense of indifference
call it
an emboldened zen
the diminishment of fair play
not fully sanctioned
