Darkness Too

It is not a palpable thing But an absence of: quite striking! There is a coolness in its depths That colors black and white Into shades of grey Reminiscent of the rainbow. Brian Johnston October 27, 2014 Poet's Notes: A visceral response to a first reading of a poem on PoemHunter.com by Soumita Sarkar called 'Darkness,' a sense that even 'Darkness' itself plays a role in turning us toward the 'Light.' A sense as well that even at our brightest we are still not Light, in Grace though we may be.
