the daytime darkness

have you seen darkness during the day… do you think it’s here to stay?

the daytime darkness

it’s been dark during the day but something lights my way perhaps a small sliver of light or a piece of hope that shimmers in the night to illuminate the outline of a path like a rope to cling tightly to that guides me through the darkness during the times i am still searching for you

it seems the daytime darkness has been around for a while creeping in slowly and silently waiting in the wings both patiently and impatiently for me to acknowledge its existence for me to stop pretending it is not there

what is it we search for our entire lives?

is it the light in the dark

or the darkness in the light

does life really have to be such a fight

do we always have to pretend we are alright?

yesterday i saw the sun if only for a little while yet the sun reminded me that it is still OK to smile my heart was lightened that day until i saw there was beauty again in a certain kind of way

then i thought of YOU you had a kindness that would bring in the light even during the darkest of days

your bright eyes appeared to shine and did you even know that I would miss you until the end of time?

Love you, Dad.
