Darkness

Akshay Agarwal

Part time poet,

---

In a velvet hush, when the world's asleep

Darkness rises and I become unseen

No one to watch, No no one to hear

Just silent air and me in between

I get a gentle solitude

Where thoughts are free

No deadlines or expectations

Just a breeze from calmness's sea

The world erodes away

There's blackness and No light

I leave the weight of the day behind

And find in darkness, a soft respite
