Dreaming in the dark,

our minds create,

shape,

fashion,

sculpt,

construct,

and produce

stories.

We are artists

in the dark

where all

around us 

is nothing.

Nothing

needs  cleaning

or fixing

or starting

or stopping.

Darkness does not

demand.

The lightbulb

is in our 

minds

illuminating 

ideas

unrequested.

Living by light

is living in 

necessity,

navigating

the world 

outlined for us.

We dream in

darkness

insisting

that anything 

is possible

from our own

minds. 

In darkness,

each of us

creates

from our

own hopes,

fears,

and visions.

We collide 

in light

and also

meet.

Darkness 

is the

best time 

to be

creative 

without

the world

flaunting its

unreasonableness

upon us.
