Cimmerian Light

By Melancholic VIncent

I dare to cross the frontier
Borderline between home and wilderness
Soon as I step outside into the night
I feel the warmth be replaced by a fresh breeze on my face
A mysterious humid smell transmits a sense of inner peace
As the cold winds revolves me
They tease me with caressing shivers
For moments I feel I could cast myself off the balcony
And a tornado would lift me up to fly like in a dream

The darkness is my shrine
It hides me from prying eyes
Under a coat of black
I am a whisper with the wind
Like if I was never there
The perfect perception filter
I become one with the night
Engulfed in cimmerian light
I am the feeling of dread
Escalating the spine
Of those who fear the dark

Glimmering darkness
Shines through a new reality
Unravel the true fabric of the universe
Under the privacy of shadows
Grant the solemn melody of silence
So can the voices of soul be heard
Embracing the wisdom from within
For there it lies the most candid purity

    My turn to decipher.. lol I think the night and shadows symbolize your hiding from something in your life that you don't want brought out into the open..You have a personality that needs to shine in the light- so get rid of that thing that has you wanting to hide -only then will you find peace in the darkness..

    I do feel good at night, it's like a magic world. But I guess what you said is right as well, we all have dark corners inside ourselves, we all have things to hide, we all have guilty burden on our backs....

    Listen to that inner voice because it quite likely has a genetic component that has been honed through the centuries - I think some call it instinct. Much enjoyed!

    The night brings an effect of wonder and peace that heightens our senses and deepens our perception. I guess this piece, evolved as I wrote it. I had the idea of doing something, but in the end turned out like this. Which isn't bad, just different from what I thought. Thanks Dan!
