With the night around me darkening
Mosquitos smelling and biting my flesh
Not knowing where to direct my feet to soldier on
as my bare feet touches the cold pavement of confusion

From the darkest corner of my mind,
I realised that darkness and sadness are natural cousins

In the dark, I stand alone.
In the dark, I hear them playing,
Searching for the light.
Struggling  trying to do the right.

Yes they say
Dark is evil
Sin
Death
Dark is fearsome

Darkness has no shadows
Yet shadows are dark

Darkness is a mystery of that which is hidden and unknown

Darkness prevails ........

Yes in the dark,
I cry
darkness listens,
Comforts me,
Like a lifelong friend.
