the dark

Happiness through contentment
It’s the message sent,
Am I there? no,
But don’t despair,
For along the path we make,
It’s tranquility, right there to take,
next to darkness.

Kindred souls adjust our pace,
Reminding us, this is no race,
“Stop”, they say, along the way,
And as we stand, side by side,
Courageously we turn to face,
the dark.
