darkness descends
as a fog upon mind
pervasive and murky
forlornly stirring
emotive tidal waters
beyond a breaker’s
dissipative efficacy
ensued by time
transformed either
as the void enabling
listless apathy
or a recuperative
reservoir for healing
bestowing hiatus
until mental integrity
transcends into
a brighter resilience
fading awareness
as to the dark’s
depressive activity
peace out
