I won't fear the darkness
The wildness and the chaos
As it's part of all thing
In all things
And in us all

The night dwelling in the soul
The base and wicked things
A complete absence of reason
Emotions, seething and churning
Or at times,
At very low times,
The lack thereof

Assured in its way
Powerful in denial
And all encompassing in dread
It's there in all times

No, I can't fear the darkness
As wild things, when caged,
will do anything to be be free once again

I won't fear the darkness
That's common to us all
But then again,
neither will I submit to it

"I'll tell you how the sun rose
A ribbon at a time..." - Emily Dickinson

Yep. Darkness is not to be feared . . . It's those darn shadows that cause all the trouble. I guess I am making light of a poem which has positive vibes. I picked up on the seriousness of the poem.
