Do you fear dying? Have you breathed utter darkness that tests your resolve? The night is ghastly only if you lose sight of Heaven.

Well worded Linda. Very pensive, not your usual self. It takes insight to be able to write dark as well as light. You nailed it my friend. G'd luck in the contest, this is unusual and a stand out, it should do well.
