Negative mindset drags me down and contagiously I start complaining. The people around me don’t understand our extremism and I watch myself degrade and dissolve into the unwell ways.
Can you not sit with me though the darkness? Why must I ache my way through the nights of the soul while you stumble for the light switch only to blind me into seeing nothing different.
Oh, of course. I get it now. You are in the way of the blind still. Try and be damned to bring me back. Only because you cannot yet join me in the genuine dawn. I reject your nightlight.
Bring me the glow of fire! I am not burned as she rises gently, soothing away my moonlit pain, serenading the sweet new day. I see her as I hear the morning songbirds. I await the sunrise within with courage.
Maybe one day we’ll share patience and watch the night dance with day in deeper stillness, deeper togetherness.
between sunset and sunrise in Venice,
CHA WILDE
