the dark

[skonen_blades]

Hello?
Are you there?
I’m the dark.
Can you see me?
Here. Let me light a match.
There.
You see the parts that are dark?
Around the edges?
That’s me!
It’s nice to meet you.
Don’t be scared.
People are so scared of me.
All I want to do is keep people safe.
When they sleep.
I love night time when I can cover so many houses.
And forests.
And oceans.
And lakes.
Helping animals and people sleep.
And helping some nocturnal animals wake up!
In the dark it’s easier to hide
And easier to imagine good things
I look forward to seeing you tonight
I’ll give you a gentle hug
When the light gets turned out
I don’t mind a tiny light if that’s what you want
It doesn’t hurt me
I’ll see you soon
Good night
