"There is light just around the corner, just past the window, just within my reach."
For Those Who Are
Afraid of Their Dark
I shall not be frightened
By the night that comes
Before every dawn.
The darkness, which fills
The corners,
Swallows up the
Spaces and reaches
From room to room;
The darkness, which creeps
Along hour by hour
Around the house
And lingers at the door;
That darkness of night
Shall not be the bane
Of my existence.
The veil that protects me
From the unseen evil
And the unclear
Danger, shall not
Be rent in twain.
There is light just around
The corner. Just past the
Window. Just within
My reach.

Audio and Comments-
I am afraid of the dark. I've been working on this fear for years, and thank goodness, I'm much better than I used to be. It was probably too many episodes of "The Twilight Zone" that caused the problem for me. In addition, our entertainment is often centered on women being chased or brutalized by men in the dark. Ugh! How reprehensible!
We all have our "dark". Whether it is an irrational fear, or one that comes with truth soaked in it. The thing is, we can work on it. We do not need to let our fear control us. Each of us can make the decision to be the master of our thinking and our feeling. It's tough. It might take years to not be afraid of the "dark", but it is worth it. skp
