The beauty of Darkness... a poem

The darkness falls over
the vast landscape of my life
but before the whimpers can escape
from my throat
the brightness of you shines down
upon me from the heavens
tiny sphere/s peaking out showing
that even in the darkness beauty exists
you are everywhere and no where
the feeling of warmth does not shine forth
but the knowledge of guidance does
your light guides my darkness forward
to somewhere it should not be able to go
your distance and yet appearance of closeness
is strangely helpful, and only for me
you are not the sun that warms the oceans
but the moon and stars that guide them
you are mine in that way
and in that way I am yours.

-Ashli
