Blindfold


by Darryl Price


for my friend and teacher, Danielle Lynn

I love you the same. The same way means I 
wasn't lying. The thing I've discovered 
is, there are probably some bad guys in 
the light. There are also some very good 

guys living in the so-called darkness. All 
false light can be like a blindfold. While the 
poorest darkness can contain its own source 
of light worth knowing at times. I love you 

the same. It's not diminished. I know you 
thought maybe it would be. It has not. Remember 
this. The light can be weaponized. 
The dark is a library. I love you. 

I wasn't pretending. Good people generally 
don't define themselves by the 
stupid greed or lust of others, but by 
their own actions. Bad folks always seem to
 
want to harm someone or destroy something 
beautiful. I've always told you the truth, 
in my own words, but organic things do 
bring changes with them. I love you the same 

means I accept that you are growing and 
glowing at your own rate of speed, as am 
I. If we should meet somewhere besides these 
words, let us rejoice and be glad of it.
