Fear of Darkness
by Glenn CurrierOh why do I the darkness fear
when evenings make my dreams appear
a photo from a darkened room
a baby from a mother's womb
a good night's sleep restoring strength
a twilight from a shadow's length
the tides that rest with darkened moon
the sunset's call for songs of loons
the morning comes from darkened East
and stars come out when days have ceased,
or is it that I'm from the West
where Eastern views are not expressed?
