The Darkness

The Darkness 

 

At the heart of every person

Is an untouched resavoir

One of self-reliance

And conviction  

 

Its power so bold

effectiveness unmatched

It is cold and calculating  

Rebellious and unheard

 

Children are taught to fear it

Teens taught to fight it

adults deal with it

and Elders do fear it 

 

It is The Darkness 

 

Do not run

Do not hide

For it is salvation!

Take it for a ride

 

Embrace it 

Tame it 

Become one with it

Make it your strength and your power 

 

Without it you are only one side of the coin

half of the whole

a glass half empty 

a glass half full

 

Why deny yourself such gains

face what you fear

let go of all it is you hold dear

Dont shed a tear  

 

Let go of your old self 

let your soul be open 

let it in  

let it sit 

 

    

then expeience what happens

Embrace The Darkness!

This may be so and all things have opposites~ as Darkness being one side of the coin

Lightness is the other ~ one needs to embrace both the dark and light sides to be complete~

just as there are good and evil in all men~ we need the balance to live life~

That's why we have to embrace all opposits rain/sunshine/ winter/summer~etc...

I think most people fear Darknesss because it is associated with Death,Evil etc.. as

where light is associated with Life,Good etc...~ Just my thoughts on it~

as I have written poems on both The Light and Dark~Fran Marie

Well, to be honest, I am not much into the Satan thing. You can read about it in my area for a good take on the benefits of the light. What is the light, and what is the darkness? They are but two sides of the human saga like a yin and a yang. The darkness brings meaning to the light, and the light brings meaning to the darkness. Do we not appreciate good bodily functioning all the more from seeing the tragedy of the "Cluster Bomb Baby?" What is sickness without health?

Well, Allah had to create each and every being to be free to choose between light and darkness. Sure, there is much power in the darkness, but such is only transitory. The good is more compelling to the people and at all times has dominated life on Earth. Even in times of Satanic darkness, most people were acting pretty decently.

What do you think of that price of oil? Do you think that the Satanic cult is going down on this thing? They said in "Banned from the Bible" that Satan would have the armies of the Earth, but Jesus would have the power. I guess that they are predicted to both have some power and control in their own sort of ways! But, that alleged oil conspiracy seems to be hurting pretty badly these days, and freedom fighters around the globe get in their licks!

Peace and love,

I like this one! Great message. I like the truths it holds.....

[Blade & Blood (The ..]

Wow, I love the message in this! The poem itself holds so much truth and insight. I absolutely love the third stanza; too true.

This is quite a simple poem, but it holds so much power in its tone! I really admire that. :) Excellently done!

dude i think the same way about "darkness" to, its a blessing not a curse lol

i liked the poem...but i have to say that the tone really didn't fit...

try to make it more solemn and sinister while embracing its "benefits"

that could improve the poem alot...but so far so good =)

[Mariana Silva]
