Chasing the Dark

Somewhere in the languid night I'll chase the dark to find you…. Do you search a distant sky this lonely hour? There are lights upon the trail, where I have gathered the stars, The moon will be a candle- while darkness frees you With the friendship of the night I tread the dark in silence- moon and stars my companions, until I find you

Dear Carrie, I can really relate to the message in this eloquently written poem. It seems I have been "chasing the dark" to find a loved one for many years. I like the courage displayed as you "tread unafraid." Fear of getting too close to someone prevents a lot of folks from getting together. Congrats on your first-place win in Brian's contest! Love, Carolyn
