Simplicity

Tonight I am comforted by the darkness outside. The rain dripping slowly down the glass window in a jagged pattern, only to disappear. I feel safe within my lonliness, within the confinement of my soul. I am worn out but feel loved and appreciated. It's quiet. The only sound is silence, but tonight it is beautiful. I love days like this where I am content to be alone. To crawl into bed with the new Janis Joplin biography that I bought and curl up sideways to read about somebody else's insanity. I love the comfort of my duvet wrapped tightly around my body, the safety that it brings with its warmth. I wish that I could feel this content every moment of the day. I have always found a certain comfort in crawling into bed on a cold rainy night. Ah, simplicity in all of its twisted forms and complexities. If only this night could last forever...
