The Vividness of Black

I revel in the darkness enveloping me
As I gaze at the flirtations of shadows and lights upon the wall
I can hear every raindrop rejoicing on joining its family
My ears; alert to the world moving, breathing and creaking
My senses heightened
I can feel the breeze caress my heels
I'm aware of my bosom heaving up and down
Like the reaction to the touch of a passionate lover
The darkness, it soothes me
Coloring the world around me in shades of black and grey
I lie on my bed, mesmerized by the colors (or the lack of it)
Acutely aware of the vivid painting of the black world around me
