Dark means Stop.
It means Go Inside.
It means Hide.
(So does Light—someone might see!)
Dark means Stop.
Dark means Go No Further.
What is more frightening than the Unknown?
Mold, rust, stains, damage.
Or that you can’t
As much as you want
You can’t
Hold a star
Keep the moon
Or the ocean’s blue.
You can see it, but never keep it.
Ultimately, destiny is sleep.
Is Nothing better?
Closed Eyes?
I want color.
Even if it’s Black.
Or is Nothing better?
Certainly better than red and spikes?
Or silent, but not knowing it.
Is that what Dark means?

Hmmm. This one eludes me at the end: "Or silent, but not knowing it." Are you referring to death? That sleep we're all destined for when we'll be silent but won't know it?
ReplyDeleteI like the lines "Hold a star/Keep the moon/Or the ocean's blue."
Yes! Exactly right!
