I Still Need Darkness
Don Hynes
Feb. 14, 2014
I’m huddled in my cave,
a stick fire kindled
with a flickered flame
lighting the cragged walls;
outside the winter sky
blue black and full of stars,
layers of snow upon the earth,
ice covering the sleeping trees.
There is much to heal
’till I can travel the ground
and cross the broad river.
I need darkness
and the closeness of wool,
my thoughts wrapped
with feelings like sap
waiting in the hidden root.
When I call, you will answer
but that day is not here.
I hold your memory
beneath the blanket
of all that’s passed and gone.
I look out but stay within.
There is much to heal
and I still need darkness.
