Nico Jagga Poet Free verse

Darkness Bright

Darkness oh darkness

I ask myself “can it be ?”
Or is it only me that am able to see

So much light 
In the blackest of night

Is it only me that finds comfort 
in the blackness of your womb?

Is it only me that feel so free ?

Released from the shackles that is life
The every day struggle 
The strife?

How can it be
That what was once so feared 
Has now become revered
What once was so damned 
Has become my solitude
My silence my rest

Darkness oh darkness
Where others see monsters
I see light

The moon has become my partner
Nothing more do I seek
No desire for the sun
No daylight do I crave

As with it comes the chains 
The metamorphosis into being a slave

The ever enduring chase  after 
a life that forever in the day
 seems so far out of reach

Darkness oh darkness

How much wisdom within 
Ready to be unlocked
Ready to be taught

The promise of your own enlightenment
The shelter from the light

And yet, the paradox is so clear
For in darkness I can see all that I really need
That I hold dear

And now I seem to understand 
Now I seem to grasp
The night has locked within
 life,clarity and peace
