Darkness

When swallowed by darkness

We renounce peace and stillness

The mind hides the inner spark

From awareness, we disembark

There’s a faint trace of light inside

It’s wisdom’s fire, it won’t subside

No darkness can be absolute

It tests our will, whether it is resolute

Our ornaments can’t glitter when dark

Imagination can, it’s mind’s trademark

We forget the light we’ve been promised

By intuition, the mind says it is a novice

Dark to light, it has universal appeal

In the first rays of the sun the joy we feel

Makes us forget darkness, it’s can’t reveal

From it, our awareness we must peel
