Darkness

DARKNESS

–noun

1. the state or quality of being dark.
2. absence or deficiency of light.
3. wickedness or evil.
4. obscurity; concealment.
5. lack of knowledge or enlightenment.
6. lack of sight; blindness.






















Darkness does not hold monsters,
These only live in our minds.
Darkness only cradles darkness
Born from our unwillingness to face the light.

(with thanks to Andrea for inspiring this one)

When you live with darkness half the year you come to see it, not as a monster, but a natural part of the annual cycle. Doesn't mean I have to like it though.
