Night Light Variations In a Summer of Discontent

The quite ebony night blew its warm teasing breath--- taunting my wet shining sable skin with a faint coolness. The paused crescent moon struggled with opaque-like clouds to dispense sojourning light as it trekked across the sky towards the self fulfillment of its circadian journey. All around---within the tree cribbed space, fluttering little arthropods darted about--- flashing bits of light, as if to impart pieces of truth the diabolical night offers to those in the search there of: truth--- the light of the contemplating souls of darkness. In the precinct of the darkness of night, light lurks--- always on patrol---juxtaposed superior twin: blinking and winking behind guarded shades. Thus…wherever darkness seeks to go and abide, she finds companion light luring from the shadows: welcoming her to coexist in peace, love and truth. Soon, these co-habiting twins will usher in another tomorrow. May God not forget us--- so enlighten us---that we continue to strive to build a new world order---reflecting peace, love and justice.
