~bright darkness~
The Darkness shines Bright
from images in our minds
peering into nothing we see everything
and yet still know it not at all
Reaching into the blackness of the shadows
grasping nothing but enlightenment
a handfull of compassion
for all our tomorrows are clear and bright
as the shield of darkness
even in the sun with wide eyes we are blind
like a moonless night in the caverns of our minds
our ears still hear the ticking away of life and time
in the darkness,
calculating the day our lives will no longer chime
on a 2 am kitchen raid with the lights off
our days are the same way
running till we stub our toes
then coming to life as our pace is slowed
in the darkness we become bright

swallowedscreamover 16 years agothose poems you read and sit back with a smile and say "Ahh..yes...that's it...that's it exactly".Well done, thank you! Will be adding this to my favorites in a moment.
Anonymousover 18 years agothere is nothing a human being hangs on to so firmly, indeed, than the whole of himself...seeking nothing ...we become undone...wisdom well penned..dear one...blue
Anonymousover 18 years agoI loved the ending of this poem. All the artsy fooferal that preambles that vivid jaunt into a midnight kitchen wasn't attention grabbing, for me, at all.
Thanks for the smile!

LeBrozover 18 years agoNice little write;
middle of the night
kitchen raid;
suddenly the stars shine bright
in a self-made cave...
