[hometext] => If we, as humans, depend so much on our sight, why do we leave ourselves in darkness?
[bodytext] => We are the children of the dusk, Born into a darkening world As the sun sets during our childhood We live our lives in darkness Seeing our world as moonlight and shadow Grey and silver, mere shades Of what it might be like Bright colors under sunlight. Some wander in the darkness, Afraid of what lies behind, Drifting from place to place, Never stopping, never content. Some cower as the sun goes down, Afraid to move for fear of harm, They spend all night in the same place, Never exploring, never knowing. Some live as though the sun will not rise And all their deeds done in darkness Will never be seen by the harsh light of day. Some spend their night obsessed with day Too worried about the future To see the world around them. I glow. I embrace the beauty of the night Yet retain my vision of what it might be What it could be, In daylight. If I could meet one single soul Share one night, one night alone With another who can see the beauty As I do… One night spent with them And I would gladly face the brilliance of the dawn. Unafraid, without regrets. Give me one night to live, We have only one night, Be with me this one night, Glow with me this night...

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
