Nightfall
A day’s journey reaches completion
Restless of mind, weary of body
First moments of silence
Darkness softly envelopes, protects
Emanating serenity, solitude
Ethereal dusk
Welcoming, cocoon of transition
Quieting the mind, thoughts empty
Heavenly tranquility
Darkness a descending shroud, comforting
Transmutation begins, twilight
Light’s edge
External world slowing
Grounding oneself, internal harmony
Settling peacefully
Darkness an engulfing warm blanket, safety
Ancient knowing, alchemy
Shadow’s threshold
Instinctively releasing tension
Physical form melts, seamlessly
Activity unravels
Darkness a velvety veil, quieting
Movement abates, resolution
Flowing into night
Pray for stillness Conscious thoughts, dissipate
Worries evaporate
Darkness a soothing nothingness, grace
Divine presence, invocation
Penumbra of night
Limbo between worlds
Seclusion beckons, immersion
Hastening dream world
Darkness a womb of love, liminal space
Gateway between, gossamer
Intangible blackness
I am greeted as an old friend
Entreating my acquiescence
Prescient of the dawn
Darkness brings peace, calming
Glorious and primal, absolute darkness
Denouement
