The Beauty in the Darkness
by Andres Diaz

It’s midnight in the cemetery
You walk peacefully through the tombstones
In the trees the bats fly hunting for insects
You lay down on one of the graves
As you look up at the night sky
You see countless stars above you
You are at peace in the darkness
The night doesn’t frighten you
You embrace the dark that others shun
The dark is your light
You find pleasure where others find fear
You are of the dark but not the negative
You are beauty standing proud against their conformity
Your journey is for discovery
Of the hidden facets of this life
You never stopped questioning
In the dark you seek the truth
Is this existence or something more
Who you are is who you want to be
Without compromising your principles
You are the square peg in the round hole
And you are glorious for it!
This poem and many others like it are available in my poetry book, OTRONAUT!
