O Darkness,
come for me.
O Darkest One,
eclipse my knowing.
Hold me in your mystery.
Enfold me in your depths.
I give to you my bright naivete,
my obvious, my polished day,
my candlelight, my handheld hope:
nope. Blow it out and let me trust,
held in your night and knowing
all is right.
Oh, let that darkness be my light,
that eyelessness my only sight.
O Darkness, cover me,
unseeing, knowing still,
and darker yet, unknowing,
and yet known.
O Black Unfathomable,
entomb me, womb me.
Let my darkness gently, closely hold
you whom I never can behold.
O Darkness, close my eyes
and let myself be held.
