from green to black

i'm not afraid of the dark

i ran into my shadow today
and he seemed to want to come out and play
we hopped skipped and padded along
then got into trouble
yet it didnt go wrong.

we got chased by a dog
he hid from the lights.
he pressed himself close
he didnt take flight

we sat down to talk
but in the dark he departed
hes only there when theres light
for by night he stays hunted

he said he'll be back
when god turns on the lights
and though he be gone
he still loves me tonight.

i was told that the best of friends dont start conversation
with headers such as," about last night..."

we forget dreams, not because they weren't vivid
but because we didnt have the courage to make them a reality.

i didnt start the new year making mistakes
i just wanted to know the difference between fiction and reality.

courage isnt the absence of fear
courage is the willingness to act despite the fear.

we face the day remembering we start each day afresh

Happy New Year!
