Colin Mitchell Williams Poet Free verse

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
