Dancing with the Darkness

Standing in the light
I see the darkness
The evil from which I emerged
Clearly
For the first time

Just as I cannot know the light
Without darkness
So too I cannot know the darkness
Without light

I thought I knew the darkness well
When I was caught in it
As it touched me
As it coursed through me

I believed the darkness was me

Standing in the light
I sense the true nature of my being
Radiating this warm glow

I have not emerged from the darkness
I have shed it
Like a cloak
Beneath which the light
Has always burned
Will always burn
Has always kept the darkness
In its dark

Trauma

I am of this world
And I am not

I am in this world
And I am not

I have this body
And I do not

I am present
I am nowhere

I am here
But not

I am present
I am a ghost

This is trauma
This is dissociation

Lichen at Hope Slide, British Columbia, Canada

I Rhyme With Orange

Nothing rhymes
With me

Like me
Like orange

Not range
Not fringe

Not forage
Nor porridge

Though all tinker with
The tongue and the ear

The elusive rhyme
The elusive me

Organic ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #147

Nature draws her lines
In chaos and complexity
Mathematics and some chemistry
Laws of physics yet unbroken
By laws of beauty she has written

Laws which I do well to heed
If my art is to succeed
Nature I do not exploit you
Nor wrest the brushes from your hand
It’s not my mind to alter your decision
But offer you my humble vision

Light and Darkness ~ Shadow, Lattice Wall and Light, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

The Light Without

In light of day
I find my way
In darkness seek
The light within

The grey between
The black and white
I lose my way
To gloom within

Then light of day
Too dim by far
The dimmest star
The light within

So then seek I
A beacon bright
To light the way
A light without

Standout ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #142

She struggled a little
Sometimes
To be noticed

To stand out
From the cacophony
Of life around her

But she knew
Who she was
And what she could do

And if others
Couldn’t see her
That was their problem

A Little Sunshine in the Grey

On a grey day
I find a little sunshine
In some dark remnant of the past
Soon to be lost forever

On a grey day
I learn gratitude
For lessons of darkness
Which made of me a man
Who finds light
In the littlest things

Unchained Melody

Darkness
Chains
Isolation

But for
A trickle of light
Filtered down
Through the depths
And for a time
On cloudless days
A streamer
Of brilliance
Reminds
A world beyond
This dreary depth

No chains
Confine me
No darkness
Destroy me
No isolation
Confound me

The light beyond
Serves to remind
The light within

Always burning
Always bright
Always connected

So that I

Am never in darkness
Am never restrained
Am never alone
