While moon makes place for sun dark sky duvet pushed back stars close their eyes The restless few their beady eyes small marbles see all and everything hip ceaselessly don't find peace The intellectuals philosophize the dark away invent intricate solutions to external worldly problems and internal personal dark Morning light moves deep inside propped up on walls shines a soft glow that brings peace if only for a short while *** October 15, 2017 Copyright © Darren White
