Everything Is under the shadow Of nothingness The threat Of absence haunts The human heart Killing Is the maceration Of connection Yet everything Dances Between us Colour In vibrancy Unseen Music To the ear Unheard Love Lighting up All darkness Forgiveness Fuel to furnace This future

The depth of this very wise and meaningful poem really is impressive and got me thinking. So much is there hidden in shadows of nothingness but do we really see or hear? Love lights up darkness always, amazing how even the most darkest of skies can be lit up when love is present. Forgiveness is the way to move forward really, but do we forgive ourselves as we do for the rest? This has a philosophical touch! And really did connect with me and will do so for other readers too! Loved reading ths
