In the ebbing radiance
Of a world slipping into darkness
The light is most vivid
Capable of magiks
Unknown to daylight

Star Chamber
Within the chamber
Starry light
Small portals fill
The darkest night
With glow enough
To see my way
Then find again
The light of day
Starry light

The darkest night
With glow enough
To see my way
Then find again
The light of day
Moonglow
A promise of possibility coming
Here the night made bright
Though by no small trickery
And patience
Here the night made bright
Though by no small trickery
And patience
Moonglow breaks the darkness
While the stars take flight
In the cool blue of winter chill
But for the warmth of amber hearths
Transition ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #237
Departing crippled harbour
As night approaches day
Light fails on near horizon
Transition now in play
As night approaches day
Light fails on near horizon
Transition now in play
Some might say
Dark times ahead
But unknowns
Are not darkness
One hand holds the chalk of light
While the other clears the slate
Upon the dark revealed we write
With clarity our fate
Being in the Grey
Sometimes I prefer the grey
Shadows can be too dark
Highlights can be too bright
In the grey all is line and texture
I see the form of what is
Without interpreting darkness and light
Leaving The Grey Between
We are these incredible creatures
Of both darkness and light
We keep buried so very deeply
So we might never know how full
Is the pain of our despair
Or the beauty of our spirit
Or the strength we might show
If we could but release ourselves
From the grey we have created
To keep the best of ourselves
And the worst of ourselves
Beneath the skin
Beneath our consciousness
Beyond our capacity
To love
Of both darkness and light
We keep buried so very deeply
So we might never know how full
Is the pain of our despair
Or the beauty of our spirit
Or the strength we might show
If we could but release ourselves
From the grey we have created
To keep the best of ourselves
And the worst of ourselves
Beneath the skin
Beneath our consciousness
Beyond our capacity
To love
In the Hollows
Branches of darkness
Reach out for me
But I resist
If only just
Reach out for me
But I resist
If only just
Still…
That is enough
To stave the pain
In this hollow I’ve carved out
From tendrils of deepest sorrow
I find resolve to carry on
Hold & Reveal
Dark Island
Tide recedes
Tide recedes
Amber glow
Inner light
So long as I hold the one
Let the other be revealed
Narrow Passage
Narrow passage
Some small hopeful light beyond
Fades on toward the night
Some small hopeful light beyond
Fades on toward the night
Though wide the sea
Destination obscured
Departure long overdue
From specious sanctuary
Where murk grows ever deeper
Even as hopeful light diminishes
Beyond the narrow passage
Start the engine
Provisioned stores and buttressed heart
Set rudder’s course through narrow passage
Bound for hopeful light beyond
What Balance Looks Like
At the intersection
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows
Of darkness and light
I discover rainbows
