Driveway oasis

Pools of light spill down into the inky black night.

They valiantly battle the darkness, brilliantly painting the scene before fading out toward the edges of the cold, damp driveway.

It’s a scene that repeats itself countless times in places known and unknown, a heroic yet futile effort to beat back the invisibility that blankets us all after the sun disappears.

So we seek out these oases of hope, knowing full well there’s only so much they can illuminate, only so far they can extend, only so much they can do.

Because some hope is better than none. And despite the darkness, we’re naturally programmed to seek out the light.

And here I thought I was staring at a couple of nondescript garage doors.
