Aboding Darkness Poem by Jennifer Batch

Tis an aboding darkness surrounding her
That brings a calming quiet comfort
Such serenity felt within a sea of empty complexity
Leaving her longing for so much more
A touch of warmth filled with caring kindness
A selfless act of unconditional love offered
An outstretched hand offering limitless desire
Merely a glimpse of sunlight filtering through the darkness
Leaving an everlasting glow upon her heart, upon her soul

Though whence she reaches forth her hand
Tis not a touch of warmth she finds
Rather tis aboding darkness closing in upon her
For some are just not meant to be touched
By such an everlasting glow
That penetrates the heart and soul
Binding two forevermore

Thus within the darkness doth she seek her shelter
Abiding ever so chillingly in it's sweet serenity
Embracing all that she was meant to be
Giving up dreams of grandeur
Knowing thoughts of love are only madness
Drawing strength from whence she came
Drawing strength from earths very center
Alas, tis an aboding darkness surrounding her
That brings a calming quiet comfort
