It is not the darkness you fear,
but what lies waiting in its walls.
The unknown. . .
You fear not the blackness,
not its absence of light,
but what is so unfamiliar and new.
Change comes in many colors.
Black is the sign of fear and shadow,
white is the presence of all color,
cherished waited for most often.
Fear not what is in the shadow,
instead go forth with a brave heart.
Chin up while walking in dark alleys,
keep your eyes open while living life.
If not you will be afraid to sleep at night,
when your eyes close for the darkness.
Timothy Michael DiVito c 1996
