Beauties Of The Dark

We all think about the dark the wrong way

Usually when it's dark we cower in fear

We run home and hide out there the whole night

Sure there are some dangers in the dark

But there are many beauties in the dark

Many things that can't be seen during the day

The light that we all know and love is depriving us of these marvels

Marvels that can only be found in the night sky

Not during the day

During the day you can't see the starstruck sky

Those glistening stars

Oh how they amaze me everytime I gaze at them

These certainly are one of the beauties of the dark that we take for granted

At night we can see orions belt, ursa minor, ursa major

But during the day what can we see?

Nothing is visible but clouds and the blinding sun

At night the fireflies come out

Their tiny little lights blinking through the night

The light hides their beauty

Perhaps the most beautiful thing to be seen at night is the moon

It's ivory surface shines in the dark

What makes it so beautiful is that we may look upon it

We have the privilege of being able to gaze upon the moon each night

Sometimes, the greatest beauties can only be seen, in the dark
