the thing about darkness
is that nothing disappears,
nothing goes away.
darkness teaches us
to search if we want to find.
darkness teaches us
just because we don't see it,
doesn't mean it's not there.
darkness teaches us
that light will always shine through,
but we must wait until dawn.
darkness teaches us
if the sun must not come again,
stars are always there to guide us.
darkness teaches us
to be cautious
if we do not know.
darkness teaches us
to be daring
or we'll never learn.
darkness teaches us
that we must not teach
darkness how to act,
but ourselves.
