From the Midst of Darkness

It was in my darkest moments that I found I wrote my best Like a volcano my emotions would explode from the caldera of my soul Molten nouns, verbs and adjectives poured forth from somewhere deep within Flooding every line like a tsunami hitting the beach Swelling red hot rivers of ink burned up every page While plumes of hurt flung pain in all directions And pyroclastic flow's of tears roared down my burning cheeks Thus; it is in my darkest moments that I find I write my best Written from the perspective of a hurting poet

Thank you so much for your kind comments and the 7. You are so right about darkness being hungry for the light but there in lies the paradox of darkness. It hungers for the light but hides itself from it.
