At
the midpoint of darkness
he
planted a light, small
to
be sure but sufficient
to
burn, a defiance
against
the darkness
choking
the life it smothered.
The
darkness laughed
at
the impunity, even as
the
light began
to
tear it apart.

"The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it." John 1:5
I just finished reading Brown Taylor Brown's 'Learning to Walk in the Darkness', in which she looks at darkness not as evil, bad, or something to fear.
Yes, yes, yes! One of my favorites of yours. There are so many, but still… this is one.
Blessings.
that place
between
the bedroom
and the bathroom
in the middle
of the night
