Why Humanity Fears the Dark

What lies in the dark recess of the human mind, That place where we dare not travel. Behind our daily masks of illusions, To another realm of thought beneath Outward appearances deceptive delusions. Here evil intentions are not spoken or Shown in spite or malice, But it exists none the same. Behold good intentions problem child, Those whom mean well but they become Lost in empty corners called envy or jealousy. Dark venues along life’s highway where Humanities laws are blurred in lights reflections. Beings lost within themselves, stand alone On realities jagged cliff. The candle of hope will not burn here, Justices winds blow too strongly against Truths righteous foe. Laid slain or clipped creature cry out why. But light has over come the darkness again. Behold the golden hour approaches and the Sun shines across heavens once more. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN

Many times it is the darkness that shows us for what we truly are...that is why we fear it, for we often live in denial. Light makes us feel more at ease...distraction makes for a welcome companion. // Enjoyed another excellent write from you, Cherl. // paul
