More on dark
I like to get dark sometimes and then come back out into the light.
Bat for LashesBat for Lashes There is little faith involved in setting out on a journey where the destination is certain and every step in between has been mapped in detail. Bravery, trust, is about leaving camp in the dark, when we do not know the route ahead and cannot be certain we will ever return.
Bear GryllsBear Grylls Here and there the dark brine gushed with foam, Roaring terribly through the strength of the mighty men.
Barry S. StraussBarry S. Strauss I trailed off.Patch leaned lazily against the counter. Dark hair flipped out from under his ball cap. A smile tugged at his mouth. My thoughts dissolved and just like that, a new thought broke the surface of my mind. I wanted to kiss him. Right now.

Bayard TaylorBayard Taylor Some men live their lives terrified. Terrified of the night and all that is dark. I will live my life eternally in fear of the light of day.
