Arise & Seek

darkness prevails around me
but not depression or
melancholy as some might say;
it is like spelunking with
no way out and
wondering why you are there;
it is like reaching a plateau
and having no desire
to continue to the top but
not because of fear;
it is like waking up before dawn
and becoming unimpressed
with the dark while realizing
light is several hours away
and you have no need to sleep;
a bigger, more interesting question
floats inside these shadows
to which there is no reply
or no rebuttal...
just a quiet admission of
not being able to sleep
the night after chemo.
