My Dark Paradise

By Whisper

I wander out in the night,
trying to grasp all of its beauty.
the clouds slowly gliding across the sky.
and the stars seem to have a life of their own.
shadows cradling me, sending me to paradise.
listening to the chirping birds,
and the gentle rustling of leaves.
I am alone, not a soul will bother me.
walking in this darkness sets me free.
and I love watching the moon rise,
just as others love watching the sun set.

  • A former member wrote: I like the contrast - the happiness among all the gloom. Though comforting, it's a sad state of mind you're writing about.
