Night Rises

by lydders

There is a perfect silence A symphonic harmony of solitude There is no sound but whiteness Even thoughts go unheard As night rises, illumination follows Dark discovers light Cracked and hollow the empty vessels fill Reflections are scattered scars The physical and the figurative

As a person who struggled with depression and anxiety as a result of bullying, night became my shrouded haven to just think. It was at night that my reflections became my priority and I was able to more properly analyze my situation and those of others.This poem was written to convey the often gloomy realizations I came to in my moonlight pondering.
