black: 5 Minute Freewrite
Wandering through the mist in the black of night, the creek was bubbling next to me.
The peace you could feel was unstoppable. It slowed your steps until you had to stop..........
and sit
There was a log jutting out in the blackness.............
I would make my way, most nights, to that log.
and sit.
and breath.
and look around me.
and listen.
The night sounds have always been comforting in nature.
In my little sanctuary of darkness, I would regenerate all the energy I had lost from the day of light and sound.
There was a church in the distance. In the dark, the cross at the top was illuminated more than normal..............
I would sit there and talk to God, my guardian angel, asking questions as I always do.
Some nights there were answers
Some night there was none.
But I always walked back home filled with peace in my heart and the will to carry on.

I miss that place that is no longer there due to it being developed
It was a special place that I had not thought of in a long time.
One of the reasons I love the #freewrites so much. You never know what will come out!!
and yes, darkness can heal you too, if you let it and are open to it.
Peace to you my friend!
I love the imagery of the words abd the feeling it invoked!
You are truly awesome.

Your words are lovely, @snook! I wish that you could return to your log. The night will cradle us in her arms while she sings music that we could listen to forever. I'm happy to have found another nyctophiliac!
