a group of feathery beings enjoy the sunset together
a lone cormorant gazes out upon a vast blue universe of water and sky

ac. You Needn’t Lack

You needn’t lack,
my darling little one.

If you look
towards darkness,
it will always be there,
but if you look
towards me,
it never will be. ›

Dwell not
in the manifold dreams
of darkness,
my beloved,
for they will never
give you peace.

They will always
disappoint,
and hurt you
in the end.

Turn your face
towards me,
and dwell there,

for the diamonds
of unchanging kindness
and beauty
will ever be there
for you to have,
and hold,
and enjoy.
