After the sun sets

On the dark side of midnight

the world is grittier, harsher

deeper and more honest

there are no shadows to hide behind

no curtains to draw

nowhere to escape

 

Stark daylight reveals our flaws

our shortcomings

our vulnerability

It finds our cracks

our weaknesses

our fears

But nightfall consumes

it quiets

it stirs

it stops our thoughts

It brings forth our memories

our missed opportunities

our failures

Daylight reveals

it mocks, it accuses

it condemns and persecutes

it never rests

In the absence of the harsh daylight

we delve deeper into who we are

why we are here

what changes can we make

what changes must we make

to be comfortable in the hours of light
