Darkness and night, two terms often blurred,
Yet distinct in meaning, like shadows and words.
Night is the time, when sun\'s light does fade,
A natural cycle, a world in shade.
A time for rest, for dreams to unfold,
A period of calm, young and old.
Darkness, however, is a state of mind,
A feeling of hopelessness, left behind.
A void of light, a absence of peace,
A sense of fear, a world to cease.
Night can be beautiful, with stars so bright,
A canopy of light, in all its might.
Darkness, on the other hand, is cold and grim,
A feeling of isolation, a heart in whim.
So let us embrace the night\'s gentle hush,
And shun the darkness, with all its rush.
