Light Vs Dark

Light and dark are only contrasts for those overly pinned to eyes – like a donkey tail, stuck at the thighs, a backside its entire existence Sun may daily rise though a cold heart would never know warmth of new dimension each dawn blessedly unfolds – let us not confound evil with darkness Godliness restricted not to light -- at our human best we are elements dim and bright, as much our stars let us shine the great void between…meet your other halfway fear and lack of empathy man’s glaring unclean --

Evil is not exactly darkness.Seeing darkness and light as antithetical is not quite correct. Real evil is lack of empathy and kindness, the inability to see the brightness, each day allows. Very philsophical dear Joe !

Great comment, and clarity which is needed: "Real evil is lack of empathy and kindness, the inability to see the brightness, each day allows." -- Concise! Blessings my friend. Is it too late for me to have a career as a Philosopher?:)

This is a very well written, thought provoking poem Joe. Well said! I especially love, ’Let us not confound evil with darkness’, and the last couple of lines. Powerful.Really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. :)

Too many confound spiritual light and darkness with good and evil. For example, spiritual light, of very high vibration, so bright that it cannot be seen with the naked eye nor by scientific instruments. Thank you my friend. Blessings.

Thank you, Anne -- so sad how people needlessly hurt one another -- for example, Putin and Zelensky should duke it out like men, instead of hiding behind starving armies.

Great poem my friend.. there are too many with hate in their hearts and serious lack of empathy.. cowards to be honest, I call them cowards and the lowest form of humanity... if we cant be human and co-exist and live with each other in harmony, then at least be silent about it... its not just about being religious, its about having morals and principles... so much discrimination and opression in this world.. its sad.

We really have more in common than we think, or are willing to admit. Many living in glass houses of lesser ego. We are one within the body of God. Creation was created out of Himself. He is everything, time, space and substance. No place outside of Him (He is the Outside and In) to go for parts. Blessings my friend.
