Nothing To Fear From the Dark
There is nothing to fear from the night.
It is just the sky lacking sunlight.
One side of the planet is away from the sun.
I hope that previous statement was right.
The night is not as bright as the day.
Those stars you see are too far away.
All are much like our nearby sun.
In an orbit around the sun, our earth will stay.
It is much darker at night, naturally.
That bright sun is something we don’t see.
We are sometimes lucky enough to see the moon.
Getting sunburned at night is not a possibility.
Darkness does not bring sadness necessarily.
At night, we need not be melancholy.
There’s no need to be in bed at that time.
The casinos are always open in Atlantic City.
