In the intricate darkness
I find beauty
I find insight
Without a subtle understanding
Of the complexity of darkness
I will never see the light truly
I begin to understand
Why both the light and the dark
Are necessary
And when I
Finally find the light
No matter where
It seems to be
All I need
Is to open them
To see truly
And the light floods in
Love puts the ground under my feet
The skip in my step
The stars in my sky
The hope in my heart
That raging inferno
Of events
And despair
Perhaps the cool, calm place
Discovered me
I don’t know
I feel it
Creeping up
From behind
Feel it
Entering me
Affecting me
But in the mirror
The effects of time
Are too subtle
Too slow
In the way we move
On the dance floor
In the way we act
In times of tragedy
In the things we build
As monuments to significance
I try to remind myself of this
In the low moments
When I feel anything but grace
Anything but graceful
