light …
and dark -
shadow and bright
are diametrically opposed
and intricately interdependent
we must learn to not fear the dark
for it holds the same delight, the same color
the same purpose and excitement
the same realizations … unseen
and it harbors something very precious that
we depend on each dazzled day
something as priceless as
air and food … and love
it is the warm blanket of peaceful repose
that we all close our weighty, weary lids to
and most often take for granted
a dark, deep world of slumber that is
of inestimable value
without which we would cease
to draw breath …
so …
next time the somber darkness closes in
remember its value in your life
and how all that we see and treasure in
the radiance of day
is given it’s worth by night’s dark umbra
and that the rest and peace and rejuvenation of
sleep that we so dearly depend on
is found in the warm,
soothing black …
of its embrace.
