Living in the Dark...

Poem Artwork

We live by the day & sleep at night,

Our vision is best used in the light,

Most animals & mammals enjoy the days bright,

Except those in the oceans, most have to move to of food sight…

 

What if instead we lived for the dark?

Our vision attuned to life black & stark,

In the night would be time to visit the park,

No problems with noise then the dogs would bark…

 

This reversal,

Would it be universal?

Or could it be just for death,

A rehearsal…

It is human nature that our nocturnal vies with our diurnal. Well done.

As one who is terrified of the dark (I'm nearly fifty years old, and I still have to sleep with a night light on!), I'd much rather be in the bright sunshine! good write, Ed; well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Your ancient Jersey Devil soul,

Must be re-awakening again, Bro.

And if you again start wandering the night,

Please try not to give the kitty cats, a fright.

I once watched a true documentary about some children, their skins are sensitive to sun. Anytime they are exposed to any bit of sunlight their skin would burn and blisters would appear.

These children DO come out to the park to play at night, and this is no joke. It was a documentary true story that I have watched on the TV. So being in the dark is no joke at all.

Sandie Angel :o)
