“The scent of rain on a sultry spring evening is always an indulgence.” ― Kim Pape

 at times

I take refuge
in the dark
because sometimes
the light
is simply too bright
asking me
to face things
my heart isn't ready for.
but here,
in the shadows
deep and thick
I can sit with it all
cocooned and waiting
for the moment
I might return
to the light.
