You Know Nothing of the Darkness

Selene, Greek goddess of the Moon.

.

You know nothing of the darkness.

by David Milligan-Croft.

.

You were born into this world

on a glorious summer’s morning,

when the days are long

and the air is filled 

with the scent of honeysuckle.

.

And you left it before Selene

ever had a chance to drive her chariot

over the horizon to welcome in the night.

You know nothing of the darkness

that came before, or after, you were born.

    Beautifully written, but so, so sad. I may be mistaken, but my interpretation is of a newborn who died. 💔
