The Dark

by Dan Garcia-Black

Close your eyes.
What do you see?
I see faces, ghosts
from the past.
Some in pain.
Some laughing at me.
Some are people I've loved
changing into angry,
disfigured monsters.
Compared to that,
what fear can
the dark alone hold?

Go ahead, Father.
I'm ready.
Turn out the light.

Dan, I love this, because I've learned that darkness can be a calming friend, especially when I'm not in charge and there's always a light to guide my way. You've got my votes for all kinds of things on this.

Pure truth expressed perfectly.

Well penned, Dan. There is more to the dark than the opposite of light.
