Darkest Light

Here at the heart of the darkest day 
Darkest light at noonday and midnight 
The shadows show the holes to a different realm 

A different reality, negative images of creation 
The opposite of light, the reverse of night, positive to negative 
Light from the other side of life, seeing the unseen, revelation

What lurks between the now and then
The in-between what is known and unknown
In the heart of the darkest brilliant day 

The witching hour deep in darkest night 
The 13th-hour chimes, echos die in the coming doom 
Hollow and sacred, full of light well past midnight 

Another world of a different sight 
The flip of noon darkest light an errant
Night nether white or darkest night 

A day of an odd unnamable delight, a color out of time
Outer space, the inner realm of the deepest dream
A dream within a dream in a world

Of darkest light, in dooms dead light
Souls are frozen in movement, each an action
Of a normal life, now only echos in doom light

Faded mysteries of a time past
Each wraith, a shadow or shade of a different life
All lost in the darkest of noons brightest night

All wasting away in dooms light 
The coming end of echos and reflections
Casting far, far from the deepest darkest night 

All blind in the doom darkest light
