Darkness

Darkness-

It's more than the absence of light;

It alludes to difficult experiences in life-

Emptiness, sin, depression, death

These can make you feel trapped, surrounded

As if you will never see the light again

All you have to hold onto,

All that gives you hope

Is the knowledge that the sun always rises;

That the light always returns

But if there were no darkness,

How special would the light be?

How special would the good days, great memories, and special people be?

Darkness reveals the stars

Darkness exposes the milky way-

Each invisible without darkness

We need to experience darkness to truly appreciate light.
