Black
Is darkness transparent?
Painted for all who see... black
Perhaps we are irrelevant
That of needed light for we who lack
Perhaps I can see the dark for what it is
A colour unnoticed and discarded carelessly
A greater shade with a potential to believe
Might I only believe unanimously?
Darkness as black as any eye can see
Covered yet protected, shielded yet afraid
Blackness as dark where anyone can be
Disturbingly easy to somewhat contemplate
Do you hide amongst its namely shadows?
Or did you stand proud in absolution?
This darken path unseen... have you tried to follow?
Or have you the need for light for a solution?
An ungodly world unnoticeably goes unlearn
A probable balance as perhaps an aspect
Are we... transparent?
Painted for all who’ll see... black?
