when night falls

When night falls, darkness creeps upon daylight. However, so does fear. Sad to say, I am one of those people but I often wonder why? People often get the wrong perception of darkness. They say darkness or the colour black symbolizes evil. But to me, it is the fear of knowing the obvious just like a wall painted black. What lies beneath it shall never be exposed as black has the ability to wipe out or to hide things. Darkness has another effect towards people. We all seem to avoid darkness though it is just a dark alley, a dark corridor or even a dark room. We just don’t like it! But why? To me, it is because beyond the darkness is the unknown. All of a sudden our senses become so alert that even the gush of wind that passes through our hair seems to shaken our body. The inner strength we conceive seems too weak to defeat fear. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel so no matter how dark it is, we still hold on to hope but we fear that we may vanish with the darkness and to be dragged away from what we truly believe in.

One mans dream is another mans nightmare. To some, falling into a deep sleep is a dream but to me it is a nightmare. The end of a day leads to a new beginning. However, I fear sins that I may have done in a day and the consequences of it all. A new day is a new beginning but the end is still the unknown. I fear that tomorrow is worse than today. Has today made me a better person so tomorrow I have less sins to bare or today hasn’t changed anything? My path has yet to be made but it could end tomorrow. Therefore, I choose to treasure every moment I have and to take advantage of time itself…time and time again. I shall fear darkness. I shall fear sins. But what I fear most is death. And who shall I seek for guidance? The one and only…GOD.
