My dear darkness,
I once feared you, never let you near, afraid I would be swallowed up and suffocated. Now you bring me unexpected comfort. You remind me I am whole. All the pieces of my divergent soul delicately stitched together.
I no longer need to run and burn a candle. Instead, I sit with you, still, patient, letting my eyes adjust to see what you illuminate in me.
