The Lesson
by Carrie Michael
Many times
We take for granted
The darkness
That creeps into our being
During the lonely hours
We mourn and cry
Forget
Instead of taking it in
Owning its perpetual cloak
Its utility
Brute strength
Empowering and embracing
Its lesson
Many times
We only feel its raw intensity
And ignore
The message
In its blow.
