Darkness by Antje Schulte

In pristine darkness I lay

In pristine darkness I lay with solitude sated,
a vapory feast of cold thoughts unabated
flows into frozen nostrils of my writhing mind,
as turmoil, my exhaled breath flows gloom-fated,
yet under sun of conscience, fate has to unwind.

O gloom, in your presence, were slain precious lives!
O solitude, in your essence, brighter thoughts thrive!
O silence, to your brittle aura, both of them attend,
Thus amid this cold darkness for warm voices I strive,
through heartfelt words that shall, into my soul, ascend.
