Shirley Hanley's 'DARK, DARK, DARK': A Haunting Journey into Melancholy 🌑

Uneasy darkness envelopes me. <br /> <br />Blinding moments <br /> of mood disorient <br /> this creature of melancholy. <br /> <br />A great saddness <br /> my constant <br /> companion. <br />My family is <br /> moving away. <br /> <br />They haven't left yet, <br /> but oh they are going... <br /> yes, they are going, <br /> far away, <br /> far away. <br /> <br />An uneasy foreboding <br /> catches me unawares, <br /> a premonition of tenebrous days ahead... <br />Questions thrown <br /> to the ether... <br /> Will I see you again? <br /> Will fate take me away <br /> before we can reunite? <br /> <br />A great saddess yes indeed, <br /> yes indeed... <br /> <br />Dark, dark, dark... <br /> <br />10/4/09<br /><br />Shirley Hanley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dark-dark-dark/
