Defying the Dark
Some nights, the last thing you see before sleep decides everything about how you rest. This poem is about the particular comfort of a face that stays lit in the dark, long after the lights go out.
When the light leaves my room and my head
falls onto the white, linen
pillow, I see only the vision of you. What
darkness prevails, should not
blind the image of your smile that brightens
my eyes. Shutting them only
brings you closer – allowing me to rest from the
day but not of the serene
presence of your face.
