I am a thing of darkness
I am a thing of light
I am on a journey to find peace,
and appreciate both.

The demons, the shadows,
the fear, the jangling inside,
I see my mirror self
and look me in the eye.

Green like mature fern fronds,
Black centre - whirlpool to the core,
to the night,
to sleep and stars and roots,
the rich earth of who I am.
