Darkness provides what light cannot
A blanket to our visual senses
It covers our world with unknown thoughts
Obvious truths turned to mysterious suspenses
With blackness we become confused
Our paths are lost in the shadows
We search for hope and sanity
Going in a direction we never chose
We are creatures of the light
Who thrive on what the sun has given
We thirst for heat and tenderness
Thinking illumination leads to heaven
But why we dread dark so much
Is truly something to explore
For when night does fall on us
We seek salvation behind our front door
Locks and padlocks can’t protect
All who dread what they cannot see
For thieves can always get aside
Gaining entry even without a key
So embrace darkness like a friend
For nothing in life is ever really known
Rest assured God is looking over you
Even outside the light you are not alone
