the moon is hiding
out of sight
a glittering field of diamonds
light my way
though I’ve never minded the night
no more evil exists in it than does the day
there is a certain silence at 3 am
it surrounds me, as does the dark
isolating yet comforting
because the silence
and the darkness
force me
to open both eyes and ears
forces me to see
forces me to hear
and with that,
the night
protects me
~Melanie Thomason

Darkness indeed makes us see, or should I say feel more. And then the sun comes up to burn our conclusions…
