"Comfort in the Darkness" is a poem about how one feels the most comfortable at home beneath the covers. A place where memories flood his heart, embracing him throughout the night. Until that moment, when the daylight peeks and he must leave it all behind to face the world alone once again.

————

Darkness is her friend,

soothing her soul

as she snuggles beneath the covers.

Letting memories embrace her

as she sighs a breath of relief,

greeting solitude.

Thankful the day is over,

no more struggles to contend with,

until the wee hours

when the gloominess sets in,

forcing her to face the world,

alone, once again.
