Darkness Inside

I got up from my rock and looked at Moonsong. She was crying...and I could feel her pain. I tried to cheer her up but I just couldn't do it. She nneded to do this, to let out her feelings. Finally I took a breath and spoke to her. "While it is true, that we all have a darkness inside of us, it doesn't mean that we as a whole are dark..., all life is like the moon...a dark side and a light side...,some choose to show the darkness and some don't.", I sighed and looked up at the moon. I could still hear her crying. "But...if we look at the moon...,we can see that it is not always one side. Darkness turns to light and light can fade away into darkness. It is like Yin and Yang...good and evil, light and dark.", I said as I turned to look at Moonsong. "If you believe you are light then you are, and if you believe you are dark then that is what you are...,so live in the light...you have friends here that care and will help you...I'll help you...", I said as I squated to look in her eyes. She looked at me, her eyes still filled with tears. "Isn't it true that in science, the void of space holds everything together... holds it up and keeps it from darkening...,even space has a light.", I point up to the sky above us. "All the stars light the way in the universe. So, even space, the darkest of all, gives light to the worlds, so that they don't believe that they are dark...just watch, if you ever need someone to talk to because you're scared of the darkness, I'll be there...I'll hold you up, just like space does with the true moon.", I lowered my hand and smiled at Moonsong. "It will all be alright, okay.", I said as I held my hand out in front of me to help her up.
