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
