Night's Efficacy

The night brings darkness, where sets obscureness. The day's pressures fall; the defences slack. Sharpness in actions isn't as at day time. Code of ethics takes on blurring edges. Darkness gives a sense of anonymity; Unethical behaviours get boldness. The lesser fear of discovery prompts Moral violence and shamelessness. Darkness gives a sense of being shielded. Dark glasses worn takes away one's shyness And keep a distance from the eye contact, By way of fencing from easy approach. Night time is meant for rest and sleep, no more. Eyes shut, hormone Melatonin flows more, That lowers the body heat andalertness. Stress goes away; rejuvenation takes place. ‘In order for the light to shine so brightly The darkness must be present.' Said Bacon. There must be the night for the day to shine. There must be sleep for the active wake up. 24.03.2019 Inspired by Vinita Dawra's article - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (We grow accustomed to the dark By Emily Diction When light is put away The bravest group a little And sometimes hit a tree Directly in the forehead, But as they learn to see Either the darkness alters Or something in the sight Adjusts itself to midnight And life steps almost straight.)
