Essence of Light
And in this darkness
a darkness we breed
a darkness we feed
and by hope we pray for an end
To our own fumblings of blindness
the void it lives
and the void it breathes
to suffocate our belief in emptiness
Darkness we believe
more than in the passing of night
darkness
when we are unable to see the light
Day
Wrought by a stars profusion
in the coruscation of billions
lays a promise of splendour
into the heavens
We do not perceive its oceans
and we do not feel its resurrection
a promise
resting in the heart of creation
Darkness
And we seek escape
clinging to the fluffy toy of hope
and all is the darkness with which we create
this comedian of our tragic hope
Light ( Life )
By informational essence
a living particle of the sun
by eyes, by emotion and by its experience
witnessed
Light
into water, into blood, into wine
to receive
and then to see
Darkness we believe
more than in the passing of night
true darkness we receive
when we refuse to see the light
