THE DARKNESS OUTSIDE IS THE DARKNESS WITHIN <br /> <br />The darkness outside is the darkness within <br />Night is the most frightening time <br />And winter the most difficult season <br />And old age the coldest and cruelest time of life. <br /> <br />And I now in winter in old age in the middle of the night <br />Write <br />A small poem of hope <br />Against the greater darkness to come <br />The night which does not end <br />And the cold which goes on forever.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-darkness-outside-is-the-darkness-within/
