Dark Side Of The Sun

Dark Side Of The Sun

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Go where suns don't shine

"

Dark Side Of The Sun


On the dark side of the sun

So hard to see beyond yourself

Too bright to see the back yard

Of the stars behind the curtain

Behind the mind of time 

Are oceans really behind the sun?


The forest for the trees exposed

Hides other life forms dressing up

In purple skins of nitroglycerin

Globes covered in raw happy light

Explode their particles to the stars


Rays of rain, subsisting on a solar song

Small objects rounding out the day

Drops of water turn to cosmic mist


Pulsing lights surf on raw waters energy

The proof is in believing everything is wet

Not water in the purest sense adrift

Cast more water on troubled water​?

Oceans away the concept seems absurd

Seen through telescopic lenses end


If you must cast aspersions then

See mysteries around the corner  

---------------Bend-------------------- 

Shadows know their way around

Crueler things found in the dark


A dispersion of light bursts forth

Reflectively genuflecting to sight

The other side of midnight dawns

Certainly without a drop of water

The dark side of the sun moves on

Bottomless, contemplative, insight and a remarkable piece of a poem to read and savour and take on board.
