"It is good people who make good places."

- Anna Sewell

Dark

​

The good dark filters

And focuses sight

Like a plow at work before dawn,

Lines drawn in black earth

More beautiful than words

Drawn in black ink.

 

But, like fools,

We clamor for light,

Frantic to be seen and heard

When we should be planting

Seeds beneath the frosted soil.
