Darkness is a comfort and a friend.
A time to sleep and perhaps forget.
If I can get to sleep.
Nothing to face but the darkness.
Masks can be put aside,
and tears allowed to flow.
To be what is left of myself.​

Lights off.
Music silenced.
Only the sound of the
my rattled breathing
fills the night air.
Alone again.
I pray for sleep to whisk me away
so I can stop my mind from thinking.
If only for a moment or two.​

Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season.
It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year.

It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow.
Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.

W.E.B. Du Bois

Judge not
that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge,

and with what measure ye mete,
It shall be measured to you again.

"Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't the
