~Darkness Whispers~

Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together. 

       ~Petrarch, DE Remodlls

I was capable of love but I lived in my solitude 

Therefore, I loved only the precious dead and books 

And the moments of enchanting beauty 

As I passed through it in utmost secrecy 

Sometimes, in the deepest solemn hour 

When most of the world's asleep 

The stars come out bright in my Oklahoma sky 

Sometimes, beautiful sad music finds its way into my deep emotional thoughts 

It weighs heavy on my heart for those of us who remain hidden from everyone else 

However, know that this world is wondrous and filled with mysteries

We possess no magical perception 

No psychic insights of our strife I believe our recognition 

Of realities complex dimensions is a consequence of our solitude 

Or maybe, because of the pace and pressure of this life 

Sanity depended on blinding ourself to the manifold miracles, 

Astonishments, wonders, and enigmas that compromised the true world 

When I said those of us who remain hidden, I should have instead have said 

I who am hidden in my darkness in my solitude of seclusion 

I have lived and been alone majority of my life 

Our kind must not be angry with the other people because of the way 

They treated us, they had issues we can never understand.
