When it is Night

If you are viewing this post by Darkness,
that illuminate the Night, it is better,
for there are things that only Darkness can reveal.
For if some arrogantly say that only Dark obscures,
then, why not Light?
And if some foolishly contend that only Day reveals,
then, why not Night?
And everyone knows the Night is made for love, and lovers!
When you are in bed, and after Day is done,
close your eyes.
Think about the Light that may obscure
the starry daytime sky around it.
Think about the Darkness that reveals
the Moon and starry sky in glory!
Fantasize of sweet, and slumber,
and think about the Gentle, healing sleep
the Night will bring!

"starry starry night...
now I understand,
what you tried to say to me"

Amigo Jaime, the Dutch master artist Vincent van Gogh embraced your words heart and soul, and painted them with every brushstroke. (Don McLean sang the truth.)

Are you aware that your mind and heart visuals are superb, and often surpass works of art created by artists who only see with their eyes? Promise me you will never put your mind's paintbrush away on a dusty shelf.
