the darkness is not
thine enemy
like some would have
us believe
the darkness
accepts all
that the light
will not cover
and holds dear
the shapes
that cannot be
seen
the darkness blankets
impurities
and lends mystery
to otherwise
mundane objects
man foolishly fears
the dark
associates it with
evil and wicked intent
when in actual fact
the darkness
is little more than
a cloak that has saved
for instance many a soldier
from death in battle
so hold dear sometimes
the perimeter of the darkness
stand up for its purpose
and let not others abuse
its valuable use
just as I have this moment done.............
