Opposites

Only in darkness can you see stars

-          Martin Luther King Jr.

You are the dark night and the stars that shine.

You are the rain storm through the night.

You are the dark tunnel they drive through with the head lights on.

You are the alarm clock that goes off in the early hours of the morning.

However, you are not the snow filled trees and roads.

You are not the big hill that people want to sled down.

And you are certainly not the day off work and school.

There is just no way that you are the day off.

It is possible that you are a warm spring day with flowers all around

With the birds singing and the colors coming back to life.

But you are not even close to being the hot summer day.

It might interest you to know that I am the hot summer day.

The day when it hot but there is rain sprinkling down.

The days when there is nothing to be done and just a time to relax.

I also happen to be the cotton candy that puts a smile on children’s faces.

The thing that they have been waiting for all day that is such a simple thing but will bring so much joy.

But don’t worry, I am not the dark night with the stars that shine.

You will always be the dark night sky with stars for everyone to adore.
