Darkness is Light

in the jungle of my mind
i write invisible thoughts
which no one likes to read.
only crickets sing them at night
serenading for me
one of my songs

"darkness is the light
when the world goes to sleep
in solitude listen to the breath
most precious to life.

in this world you came alone
you shall leave alone in time
darkness is the light
to walk alone in peace".

It is their loss you've always been one of my favs. And I will visit as much as my health permits.

Keep writing my friend I feel it would be sin not to.

Biggest hugs Jayne xxx

Dear Raj

I thought this stanza stands for its own and enough to make the poem ... of course just an opinion.
So many favorite lines... can't really decide

"in the jungle of my mind
i write invisible thoughts
which no one likes to read
only crickets sing them at night
serenading for me
one of my songs."

very very enjoyable dear friend!
