From darkness to darkness
From darkness to darkness Seems bound in desperation. Looking at the bookends, What good can there be? What hope can be found? Darkness; We know it by what is missing; In the events that happen beyond it. Between the ends We find light. Brilliant illumination; Vim and vigor flow where there was nothing Filling the chasm of indifference Springing from unknown places Burning from conversion. From darkness to darkness We find meaning Deconstructing and building In the now In the what is. No remembrance of what preceded it Supposing what follows it We have today In a life And in a minute. From darkness to darkness We live We love We howl And we serve . We look and we see, Directed focus. Choosing the gaze which suits us Be it the ends Or the light in between.
