I was asked to please share the poem that is being entered into the competition and is also going to be published if you are not sure what I am rabbling about , go and see the last blog I put entitled ' ITS IN THE DOING' this will bring you up to speed.
I would really love to hear what your interpretation of this poem is what it means to you:
So here is and its an original work from yours truly enjoy
The Darkness is my light
I went to sleep, sure of tomorrow,
Sure that the dawn would come and another day would start
I opened my eyes and the dawn did not come
Am I still asleep? But I am awake
Where is everyone? What happened?
Where am I ? I am separated
Back to my original being
I came alone and I am alone
The darkness is my light
Here are some the interpretations I got in boxed to me :

It's an expression of the isolated darkness and lonesome feeling of having felt like you have people around you, you are looking forward to the future, but suddenly it's as if the rug has been ripped from under you feet and you are left with nothing but you. The stark reality that we go through dark times alone, we don't want to acknowledge it but we are forced to because it is what it is. I am going through what I'm going through. And right here right now there is nothing I can do to change it. You want to sleep and not wake up, finding comfort in the stillness of the darkness yet again you want to wake up and change it. Yet when you wake up, it's so raw you want to be dreaming you don't want it to be real. So you are caught in a place where eventually, only in the stillness of the night, when you are alone do you find solace and comfort of not having to face the world, and until you overcome this is the place that you find solace and comfort in. In Juxtaposition.
It is so beautifully done hey!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like, you hoped for a solution but it never came and you hoped that it would.You have become so used to the darkness that it has become your light, back alone in your situation to find your own solutions because you came alone after all, you must rely on yourself!! there are so many ways to skin this cat. it can also be death,
very nice miss suz
For when its dark, only then can I see the light.
ReplyDeleteIf only but by being a mere mortal
But my best chance of immortality,
Is the realization that I do not exist!
Darkness being the absence of light,
Light being the form and nature
The truth
The essence of being.
Am I the dark man?
In my absence you feel the presence
From the light within me,
The light that is me.
Or am I just a man
Passing through.
Dichotomous.
Not I dare say
The darkness is my light!
