OLDER IN DARK DIMENSION I

On getting old----er, what was that word?

At the end of my day, I take inventory.
Of my character defects? Awww!
Well, maybe, but I meant of 'things'.
Do I still have a scooter, violin, computer?
How about Kindle and DROID...all toys!

On what do I REALLY base
My level of acuity? TWO questions:
How many things did I misplace (lose) today?
How many of those did I eventually locate?

Happy to say, today--of those, this one rare,
I found all which had been 'lost for good'.
Before dark set in, replacing the glare, and
As God's Mural faded, I understood:

Sweet Dark, I love you! Better see, think, and feel.
With help of wonder drug--caffeine--better perform.
No! I'm NOT in bed...OKAAAY?

Darkness is more than a place to hide
More than a time to sleep
Without 'dark', where would be Mars?
Where Universes, to be discovered soon?
And tell me O Muse--about  twinkling stars, and
Oh! Oh! How would I see my sweetest moon?

"Darkness calms the light.

Darkness feeds the soul.

Darkness helps us see."
  --Audrey, in a blog comment

"Oh darkness! I love darkness. Do you know you can

see best when your eyes are closed? When everything

is dark, your vision becomes acute."  
         --Artist, Master of proses, Blogger, Ces

"Who comes from light into darkness

may be first blinded, for only brief moments."
                    --Steve E

Darkness is God's canvas
Without darkness, there would be nothing
on which to paint the morning 'skye'...

So when I stay up half the night, and
Good-intentioned People ask me why,
I say "I'll tell you--Listen, it is simple!"

(Miles afar we hear a dog bark.)

"I just happen to love the dark!"
