New Posting...
Hello, All.
I'd like to share with you another of my (I've been told) dark pieces. Read and be the judge as to whether or not it fits that pigeonhole...

Peace and Quiet.
Two terms that go together like a hand in a glove.
Now that I have both, what I wouldn't do to have a little chaos and noise!
Peace... an absence of mental conflict.
If only I could be at peace...
I wish I had peace about that...
My peace I leave you...
Funny -- once I finally found peace, I wasn't sure what to do with it!
Quiet... simply put, the absence of noise.
I hope he stays quiet about that...
Quiet! You're too loud...
Quiet -- Hospital Zone...
I strain my ears listening for the slightest sound but all I hear is the deafening quiet that surrounds me.
Silent and Still.
Wonderful qualities to be found in a sniper or hunter.
Not so wonderful when all I yearn for is a soft whisper or a twitch of a muscle.
Silent... being devoid of sound; totally inaudible.
Be silent! You talk too much...
Rig for silent running...
Silence is golden...
It amazed me to discover how loud total silence becomes when all I hear is nothing.
Still... completely devoid of motion; not moving.
Stop fighting and be still...
Still as a post...
In the still of the night...
My mind is willing my body to move but it doesn't respond -- no twitch, no movement -- nothing.
Darkness and Eternity.
Two words that could have serious connotations when used together.
Sensing that I've embraced both, where will they lead me?
Darkness... the complete absence of light.
The darkness of sin...
The dark of night...
It's always darkest before the dawn...
Black becomes an all-absorbing darkness where even the faintest glimmer of light has no hope of being seen.
Eternity... a never ending ending.
Ride off into eternity...
That you have eternal life...
Eternity, Eternity, I am yours...
I can sense the lid being closed so; it's time for me to slip off into eternity...
...Hey! What's that light up ahead?
Enjoy.
Regards,
