Where is it Where is it What is it A bump in my brain Its when I walk in the dark That it somehow catches up Light reveals my imperfections And my existence I chose to walk in the dark Limited by the light Afraid to touch it The shadowy hidding places open in the day I took a step in the light I didn't burst into flames or melt away But I was seen by those within sight And soon felt awkard and apparent But I stayed in the light Only now I had left the dark I stayed out of the dark Limited by the absense of light Nothing would get me But I stayed away from the dark Until I stepped back into the dark I didn't limit myself to it this time I stepped back into the light And crossed into both light and dark I could finally move Freed of my own sight All is part of light and dark A time to kill and a time to heal A time for all polar opposites A bird that neither sleeps by day or rests by night This peripheral vision makes way To see the problem A matter of spiritual surgery And removes a certain amount of public phobia He has made everything beautiful in its own time. -Ecclesiastes 3:11 |

I like the bird part, sometimes I was confused and didn't know whether you were in light or dark. But bloody hell, it was great. I liked the whole aspect of this piece. Thumbs up work Craig! May I call you Craig? Alright. Hollow. Courtney. I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World. |

Excellent, my friend. Polar opposites? Spiritual Surgery? Great choice of words... Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere |

If you call me Craig can I call you Courtney? And the explaination for clearer understanding is. I limited myself to the dark, then to the light, then I broke through both limitations to freedom. Limited by neither light of dark. Thank you Purity. You're an awesome person. You don't look for the bad but the good instead. And I appreciate that from a person. Thanks. -GIS He has made everything beautiful in its own time. -Ecclesiastes 3:11 |

Lol, of course. I like it even more now. Breaking through to freedom. Hollow. Courtney. I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World. |

"All is part of light and dark A time to kill and a time to heal A time for all polar opposites" The polar regions of the brain, I know them well. coyote  |
