Darkness

Everywhere

Close your eyes, a while
Disappearing lights, colours
Inner soul lits lantern of joy
Splashing dark horizon.

Hands crawls all around
Felt something somewhere
It's a sparkling gem,
It's a hood of poisonous snake

Ocean of darkness
It's ocean of mystery
Inner light holds hand,
Takes through safe path.​

[John the Baptist]

This offering seems to compare the inner consciousness with the outer world. The inner mind is a place of light, in fact. a "lantern of joy," whereas the dark outer world conceals dangers, such as poisonous snakes. These, of course, are metaphors for comparison's sake. Yet they speak a truth: Within lies the only true safety.

Omg the message is so beautifully portrayed and captured. In this day and age when darkness surrounds us in every step of our way, we have to believe there is light shining somewhere somehow. We just have to find it. Kudos! I love it!

Something so comforting about the dark. We sleep in it, and dream through it. And that process of sleeping we can heal, learn and experience things through it. But at the same note we can also have fears about it just like you stated "hands crawls all around."

I love how you ended this poem with hope in it "ocean of darkness/takes through safe path."

Thanks for another great one🤗🤗🤗

Even though there is darkness surrounding, us we can still the light within… we can feel the goodness in the face of evil… nice writing TP

This almost reminds me of Obi Wan kenobi telling Luke to "trust the force"---

because sometimes we really have to do that...we just have to.

This is a really good piece of writing, Arundass...
