Time's Mask

Who ever said suffering had to remain something negative?

Long stretches of road,

The streets are empty.

Children caught in time,

Adults lost in thought,

Time's all gone.

Driving down this path,

Realization is slow to show.

Never meant to go this far

But its all coming to an end.

The dark of the night,

Succumbing to the dawn,

And dying all over again.

Heaven's tears stain the ground,

As they mourn this renewal.

Yes, another day and chance,

At the expense of the dark.

Dark is not always evil,

Sometimes, its just a mask.

Masking the world's pain

And the evil of man.

I really liked this. I completely agree that darkness does not necessarily equate to evil just as light is not always goodness. This poem kind of reminded me of a book I recently read call "Man's Search For Meaning." It's about how people grow as they suffer and sometimes it's our destiny in life to suffer and how we embrace it shows us who we truly are as people. Great write,
