The Longest Night














We couldn’t believe in darkness
because there is always some light somewhere —
the soft reflection of moonlight,
far stars, and nearer lanterns,
the dream light that dances behind eyes
before and during sleep,
and inevitable morning
that eventually rises
even after the longest night.
