The dark which is brighter than the light

 

There is a type of darkness

that feels one with fear;

of something of the visible manmade threats,

actions born of hate, greed

and our own fears.

 

Then there is another darkness

that envelops you with friendly embrace,

An invisible representative of all that

which makes you feel good in life.

 

Through darkness I walk by choice,

outweighing the former by the latter,

Darkness is a sieve,

It allows you to segregate good from bad,

I try to cast away the little stones

left above the wire mesh

and let in the fine sand of joy and goodness

trickle into the bowl of my heart.

 

Don’t underestimate darkness,

If you learn to hold

all that which makes you feel good

then it enables you to see

even clearer than the daylight.
