Though the process of presuming the
worst possible outcome seems like a wise idea
it's ultimately a terrible way to survive
and toxic to heart and mind
as it destroys the ability to hope for better days.
so much darkness up ahead
yet to focus on the bad
is to ignore what darkness is
darkness is in large measure
a place holder for the good things that we're incapable of imagining yet
darkness is the mother of the unknown
an encroaching darkness is
sometimes the only proof we have that we are still alive
darkness gives us the possibility of surprise
darkness gives us a reason to have ears (and throats)
and friends with hands to hold to.
