Dance with Darkness

 Darkness used to scare me...

It was a setting that housed my worst fears...
It was daunting...
My body tensed
My mind ran wild

Then one day, I decided to face these fears, and befriend the darkness (and all that it encompasses), 
Asking myself what is the worst that can happen?
So I invite my fears like an esteemed guest,
I waited... my body relaxed 

And I see... 
The side of darkness that I have never known...
I am awestruck...

 By the galaxies 
By the potential
By the vastness

P.S. The irony is that when I get familiar (and comfortable) with unknowns, it is not as powerful or daunting as it seems to be (when I was running away from it)...
And I also realised that only when it is dark can we see the brilliance of the stars and the galaxies...
