This is excellent and touching Retta.
No, nothing wrong with loving the dark - as long as you always remember that you need light as well.

I too enjoy being alone. It is when I can do my best writings and I enjoy my own company. I can sometimes feel very alone even in a crowd of people. So what is lonelyness? Your a master at these writings.

Excellent and magical write! This is a special and unique poem, Reindeer, about a strange subject, about a personality that embraces the shadows and shuns the light. It is a wonderful examination of the duality of feelings, those that are compassionate and understand this choice to remain in a twilight world, and those feelings that reject letting someone hide away from Life. I wish this piece were longer -- I enjoyed reading it and it sparked a lot of thought. Thanks for posting this!
