In the Dark Composed 4/1/10

It seems that shadows are the only place

Where people can be seen for who they are.

For when you cannot see the shallow face,

The Mind and Soul shine through like brightest star.

Because the darkness hides such simple things,

The selfish Body can't the Spirit hold,

So Soul and mind are free to take their wings,

And show a person's side t'was yet untold.
Then through the dark ethereal Light does show;

and bathes them showing them at their true best:

thus through the shade the brilliant mind can glow,

What truly separates them from the rest.

And though the daylight chases out the night,

One can't forget the spirit twice as bright.
