This Darkness { cannot last } {Vodun}

But I have promises to keep





And miles to go before I sleep







And miles to go before I sleep





The forest was so bright, so bright.

Bright and blinding.

It burst through my closed eyelids and seared my fragile lenses.

Shadow.

On the other side. A puncture in the light. A timeless hole. A patch of nothing.

I remember running into it. My guilty escape. Dark closure.

And a voice.



Soft at first, then loud. Loud. So loud, it pierced through the dark and light and shook the trees to their very roots. Leaves quivered. Birds flew away. Or were they flying closer? Curious little beasts. ...Doves...

Yes, the dove from my dream...

A patch of light that carried away all of my troubles...

...Ahh, I see...



...It wasn't me, after all...
