Dark of the Soul

There is a darkness to our soul. It is that which makes all of us whole. Always surround yourself with death: It's what gives art its living breath. We must examine all that kills In order to rid us of our ills. Shadows cannot exist without light, Like why there is no day with out the night.

There is a very delicate balance in all things. That's the way God made it. Light and dark, Cold and hot, Bitter and sweet, etc. It's when we deviate from the natural that things start getting hairy. Death is not the end of everything. If you really look at it nature shows us that death is not an ending but the beginning of something new and fresh. Nice job here though. God Bless,, JB

There are some places where it is dark for a great deal of the Year and others where it is always light! I suspect the choice is where you choose to live. You provoked this thought from the last night. I really enjoy poets that make me think. Thank you Daniel!X Lizzie
