Morning Dark
morning dark
it’s longer now
and night arrives
earlier—the
longer time for
black sky to have
its way
and in equinox-
thinking, this is
just
for we should not
fear the dark,
since there is
dreaming there

My name is Christopher. I use C L Couch because it is a form of my name that's genderless and easier to write out. I have severe writer's cramp. I am a career educator and writer. I also enjoy (other) fine arts. I am semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at http://www.debradanielson.com/.

Awww. Beautiful thoughts, brother! And indeed the nights are getting longer here in my space on earth. It will be longer too as Christmas nears. ❤

Thank you, sister! We might not share the seasons’ climes, but we share the time of day throughout the year. That’s pleasing to know.

I love the hope at the end, we shouldn’t fear dark because there we dream. Indeed, it can truly be a reprieve. I read we often sort things out in our dreams, problem solve as it were, while we rest. Hope your rest is well.

Thank you. I’ve been falling asleep late, but it’s sleep. Certainly better than none.

I like your poem morning dark, night arrives earlier, it’s the time of the year, when days are shorter and nights are longer.
I hope you are doing well.
