The Dark

The Dark

Do not be afraid 
Of the dark.
After all, the stars
Such a pretty spark
Are only seen in the dark.
Night is the time of secrecy,
But it doesn't mean
That blackness has
A need for fear.
Even when life is black
Like the night,
You can still see
The light
If you look hard enough.
After all, the light
Is ever brighter when it shines
In the dark.
There is no need to fear 
The blackness and unknown
Of the horrors.
They will pass,
Just like the night,
And even it has
A beauty of its own
Like the dark
Like the night.

There is a sustained metaphor here that fascinates me. How ' The Light ' lacks a stage without Darkness. I get that. I toy with this metaphor always. I am very happy to find it here... in YOUR garden of little sparks. Keep writing !

Thanks so much, I agree, it is kind of like when you see a bright light in the daytime, it seems normal, but in the night, it is blinding.  Metaphorically speaking, life is like that- if you have been living in the dark, the light is all the brighter.
Thanks for your input :)
