The Darkness This Time

during a process
a mistake
a break in routine
a darkness falls again
into my life
a stone of pure gloom
I know well

as that rock strikes
it hurts to breathe
as always the air goes crisp
and sharp

I am no Stoic

if there’s something
to be learned
from the darkness
this time
I must plead
for it to be
soft learning this time
let it be
a gentle lesson
let there be
no pain
no pain
at all
