Lightness

Darkness is the interpose,
the moment before I arose.

Darkness is for darkness sake,
the moment before I awake.

Darkness is for darkest slumber,
dreams the key that turns the tumbler.

Darkness is the silent prayer,
the whisper that disturbs the air.

Darkness is the starry sky,
the teardrops that the angels cry.

Darkness is eternity,
it holds me tight and sets me free.

Darkness is and will always be,
the thing that shows the light to me.


I wrote this to test the theory that poetry.com would just accept anything - I was right. Oh well, I think it ended up being a pretty cool poem anyway... or is that a pooh-mmmmm... urk... sounds to much like scat.
