I feel connected,

by all the world,

and all the powers today,

connections connecting connected,

One connection to one person,

I feel it and see it,

and now realize,

there's more,

I ignore other connections,

but they've been there,

just not as bright.

You feel lonely in the dark,

do you not?

You shouldn't.

Those connections, too, are in the dark.

And as I said they are not as bright,

so look closely upon them.

They deserve to be gazed upon.

For in becoming dark they once must have been bathed in light.

And of those connections in light,

do they have to become dark?

Or can they be preserved

in the smile of the sun's rays?

The sun of course,

gives off this light metaphorically,

But is light really so grand?

Should it be cherished above all else,

Above darkness?

Above the monochrome gradient?

The dark is not such a scary place after all,

And colour isn't always friendly.

And of this connection that made me realize this,

what made it special,

could it be a connection

of love?

And is this love of light...

or dark?

Maybe...

in between.
