Cold October

It was a cold October day when the darkness climbed to the surface
Determined to undermind the light of the newfound life

It broke thru the barriers head strong, with full force , suddenly, harsh and unexpected.

Turmoil of it's repressed anger, and internal sadness, swiped away any bit of light held within.

There was no stopping it. No telling it to go away,
Nothing but yesterdays pains for it to thrive on. And it did.

For hours the darkness unleashed every known dark turn love had taken. It flushed away all the joys living had brought.

Only the darkness prevailed
Unharnessed, it lashed out at the undeserving. Spewing anger and its uglyness in all directions.

I knew it was bad this time as the internal pressure cooker erupted like a volcano

I appologized and warded off all within the area of the eruption to beware. I was not in control. That the darkness was there.

And as I tapped and vented I took a well meant hug that declared I was not alone in the darkness. It slowly began to disapate back to what ever depths it came.

Medicinal caring was all it needed to send it back from where ever it came.

I sat there watching as I knew it was leaving, slowly withdrawing as i could feel the light of love coming back. Until finally it was gone. Leaving only a small shadow. Until the light came back was.

I took a deep breath and returned to the living, October returned, it's reprease in warmth.
