have I embraced The Darkness? have I embraced The Darkness as something wonderful something that hides yet shows all? have I embraced The Darkness as something treasured something waiting to be discovered? have I embraced The Darkness as something warm something that covers the harm? I have embraced The Darkness as all these things not as something to be feared but as something beautiful something that begs a second look and in the beauty of The Darkness I have found peace in the arms of The Darkness I have found comfort in the eyes of The Darkness I have found myself and in the heart of The Darkness I have found love. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

in the arms of The Darkness I have found comfort in the eyes of The Darkness I have found myself and in the heart of The Darkness I have found love _____________________________________________ SVEN, I very much enjoyed reading this poem... Some of my friends shy back from the darkness and yet I say those who embrace it find many a things and sometimes even love appears... I like this side of your writing and I thank you Friend for sharing this with us... ~*coco*~ |

You should never fear the dark . . . for out of dark comes light . . . always . . . Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Can't remember the exact phrase, but someone replied to a long-ago poem of mine with words to the effect of, 'Light needs dark too, one can't survive without the other.' Thought that fit here. |

Sven, without darkness, there is no light there's no break of day without the night. Loved this poem! and having been a student and lover of darkness I can relate to this one as well! write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
