Blankness

This is a short poem I wrote about what I think about darkness.

Dark, enveloping

Comforting, frightening

Surrounding, scaring

It can comfort, It can scare

Like black velvet,

Suffocating, tightening

hurting, soothing

It is darkness,

It is night.

I like it... brings to my mind Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"

Brilliant. Truly.

Wow, I'm amazed that someone yor age wrote this Puzzle-bot. It is an amazing poem. Fabulous job!

[Vain Apocalypse]

So true it is that it can both scare and comfort. In its power and absoluteness, it can overtake you, destroy you. In its simplicity and perceivable emptiness, it is calming and reassuring.

I enjoy this, because I have thought similar things. I find this duality risen by staring into the blackness of night analogous to what may be felt when staring into the abyss of death. It can be either comforting or terrifying, depending on what ills or fortunes it might take from you.

What a line to tread upon!

"It can comfort, It can scare"

What an amazing description of darkness! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this poem, and you've touched exactly what it is about darkness that is so mysterious. Very true, very wonderful poem. Good job, and keep writing! -Burl.
