Your title is a wonderful summary of the poem, Christine. You also expressed the feeling of the poem in ‘The passing laughter of children / would go unheard’.
How sombre – isn’t just the way that the darkness, however faint, can preoccupy?
And just as quickly, thaank goodness, it can lift and release…. I hope it did.
So dark, when there is such darkness it takes times for it to go.
As with everything. Thank you ☺️

Yes Kim the simple things that make us smile can often go unnoticed when we are down. 😢💔
A very moving and evocative poem Christine
Thank you Sadje. I was writing for the many that suffer with that darkness 💔
You’re welcome. So well written
That is a dark spot in a day: That faint darkness on the horizon. Hope the light comes in the way. Thanks for joining OLN at dVerse.
The light is always behind it. If only we could believe it. Thanks Grace 💕
“That faint darkness on the horizon
holding its position”
Hope it passes swiftly into new found joy
Much💖love
Yes Gillena. There us always a silver lining ☺️❤️

Yes Kathy, fortunately for me it did. I know many struggle with that lingering darkness, no matter how faint. 💕
