In the Dark We Dream

They say the dark is cold and harsh,

but I see it as nothing but an old friend

waiting with open arms to envelope me

in a peaceful embrace of calm and tranquility.

It is in the dark that the blinding light of day becomes bearable,

and the sky transforms into a beautiful tapestry

of a hundred revolving stars and possibilities.

It is in the dark that my soul awakens when all else sleeps;

when my mind's eye travels beyond

the confines of this mortal coil

to touch those twinkling dreams - those aspirations

just out of reach.

They say the dark is cold and long,

but it is the only place where dreamers

can dare to dream.
