WITHIN YOU WITHIN ME (DARKNESS)

Part 1 a study of the human soul

This darkness that consumes me...
Consumes us
Where does it come from?
Who placed this seed of evil inside us to root within our hearts?
We allow it to control our better selves
We seek to destroy all meaningful things around us
We are lost in madness

But there is the light
It can be seen in the distance
So why avoid what can be seen?
Why avoid what gives life?
Here, in waiting, is the unknown
Stay in this comforting place
Everything capable of love will eventually end
Embrace where you are
You are already here...

Why is man so fascinated with the beginning of things?

Author's Note

My best attempt at writing something philosophical

The beginning is the end and the end the beginning- great words and deep thoughts- why people choose dark instead of light they will only know perhaps it’s easier for them to cope reaching for the light and walking it brings many challenges many would rather avoid🌹

There is light and darkness in each of us. Light represents enlightenment for me. My aim, to eliminate any darkness I have. Interesting thoughts

Our souls are born good but we fall for the evil desires and eventually, that is what we become. However, some are strong enough to resist the evil. ;) Very good poem. Makes sense.

[Great Aunt Astri]

Good contemplative poem with good advice. There are definitely constructive, and destructive things in all of us. But sometimes I think it is necessary to stay in the darkness for a while, to perhaps destroy that little bit of an evil thought, lurking in our hearts! I love the way you 'reveal' the light, and advise us 'Stay in this comforting place'. And then your last line ... why indeed is man so fascinated with the beginning of things?!!! Good read.

Life is a dance between light and darkness! Well written!

[Onlyme]

Power, dramatic and truth have spoken from the heart and soul.

perfect poem yes it is philosophical.

[Rosie Brooklin]

This is a very thought-provoking piece. I've often had similar thoughts, which I'm glad to see so well written out. Well done!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Truly, why? Contemplative and thought-provoking write KC. “Embrace who you are..You are already here.”-all the rest is white noise after all. This is a wise and compassionate philosophy you have chosen. It resonated with me on a very deep level. Great form and contrast between each verse- darkness vs. light, madness vs. reason. Excellent and profound write my friend.

I think it's about learning, progressing in our beings and souls, some need a long time to do so, while others not, and some need to make mistakes, or dwell in darkness to get out and grow, while others not... each individual is not the same as the other one.
